Congratulations to Norman Lock, whose novel Eden’s Clock is longlisted for the Joyce Carol Oates Prize, and to Charlotte Taylor Fryar, whose debut work of nonfiction Potomac Fever is a finalist for the Reed Environmental Writing Award!
With smaller print runs and often an intimate relationship with readers, these smaller houses are able to take bigger risks than their larger counterparts and are finding truly excellent writers outside the mainstream. Don’t miss works from Open Letter, Deep Vellum, Bellevue Literary Press, Catapult, Restless Books, Two Dollar Radio and Los Angeles’ Unnamed Press; like more established independents Graywolf and McSweeney’s, they are delivering so much genuinely exciting fiction that they make it look easy.
From Our Authors
Bellevue Literary Press with its Publisher and Editorial Director Erika Goldman is justly reputed for introducing to the American readership books of highest artistic quality and for doing so with diligence and great zeal. I was greatly impressed by the amount of work and attention Ms. Goldman and her small team invested into my novel, from editing of the manuscript to promoting the final product. I can feel that my ‘American future’ is in the hands of people who are entirely serious and confident about what they are doing. It is this confidence and faith in what is meaningful in literature that I admire most in BLP and notably in Erika Goldman herself.
