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

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.
