Small & independent presses are publishers that function on a smaller scale than traditional publishing houses and imprints. They publish less books per year, have limited resources compared to Big 5 publishers, and often focus on specialized or niche genres/publications. Check these presses out ⬇️

A forest green promotional graphic displaying a search results window where the search inquiry says, “What is a small press?” The description of a small press is as follows: “Small and independent presses are publishers that function on a smaller scale than traditional publishing houses and imprints. They publish less books per year, have limited resources compared to Big 5 publishers, and often focus on specialized or niche genres/publications. While traditional publishers can have more of a commercial focus, small presses often take chances on more unusual, diverse perspectives and retain more creative control over what they choose to publish.”

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Show Up For Our Libraries! By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration's Executive Order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer.
