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.

As a consequence of Bellevue’s being positioned in this intersection of humanism and medicine, I’ve ended up attending a different genre of appearances. For example, I’ve gone to medical schools and conferences on humanism and medicine. . . It’s this beautiful synthesis of realms that comes together in a way that I’ve never seen in any other endeavor, which I think is at the foundation of Bellevue Literary Press’ mission. Regardless of the letter of our particular discipline, we all share that common spirit of creativity and I don’t think you can put a price tag on it.
