[A] popular refuge for well-regarded authors. . . . At a time when publishers increasingly see books as products and need to be convinced of their chances of selling at least 25,000 copies, Bellevue Literary Press thinks smaller and aims higher.

From Our Authors

Eduardo Halfon

As a reader, and as a writer, I’ve always been drawn to books by independent publishers. I find that that’s where most literature occurs—if by literature one understands something that screams while whispering, or something that soars without ever leaving the ground, or something that appears to burst into flames as you’re reading it. And I do. And so does the nonprofit publisher Bellevue Literary Press. But they need your support, so that they can continue to support us, the writers, to keep writing, and whispering, and flying, and going up in flames.
