AMERICAN PUBLISHERS

 

 

The AA Independent Press Guide started life as a supplement to Acid Angel Magazine, back in 1998.  Since then, it has grown and grown, and now over 2,000 print and internet magazines and publishers are listed from all over the world.  The one thing that hasn’t expanded is the editorial team.  That is, it is still a one man operation, and it is physically impossible for this one man to keep tabs on everything in this guide.  Whilst I endeavour to keep The AA Independent Press Guide as accurate and up-to-date as possible I just don’t have the time, energy or finance necessary to constantly check and re-check each listing.  Magazines and publishers come and go, just like that.  So, inevitably, some of the magazines and publishers listed will no longer be operational.  There will also be omissions in this guide: magazines and publishers that aren’t listed.

 

You can help out, by making me aware of any inaccuracies and omissions in this guide.  Just email me at aa-independent-press-guide@ntlworld.com and let me know what you know.  Then I can let everyone else know too!

For years, we at Barricade Books have prided ourselves on providing books to readers that other publishers would shy away from. Our books test the boundaries of the First Amendment, ultimately strengthening it and protecting our personal freedom. In this age of publishing dinosaurs that gobble each other up to become even larger, Barricade Books is unique. We remain an independent publishing house committed not only to making a profit but also to protecting people’s right to free speech.  No one needs the first amendment to write about how cute newborn babies are or to publish a recipe for strawberry shortcake. The first amendment was not intended for innocuous ideas or popular points of view. We at Barricade Books are committed to protecting the rights of serious authors to express even the most unpopular, outrageous and offensive ideas. Only then is total freedom of expression guaranteed. It is our hope that the books contained on this site hold something for everyone. It continues our tradition of publishing quality non-fiction, with a frontlist full of unique titles and a strong-selling backlist.

THE BITTER OLEANDER:

4983 Tall Oaks Dr, Fayetteville, NY 13066-9776, USA. 

Email: info@bitteroleander.com 

URL: http://www.bitteroleander.com/index.html 

Established: 1974.  The Bitter Oleander Press has been providing the poetry reading public with a highly deep-image driven poetry since 1974. We publish those works whose imaginations open our eyes to a world we thought we knew but were often mistaken or uninformed. A world our habits and our blindness ignore everyday. We believe in bringing our readers and writers face to face with each other, with the reality of our world today, like the one that exists in grape seeds blown by hurricanes into corner crevices. We continue to publish the well-known, the little known and the unknown poets and writers side by side. We publish it in English and we also present a lot of it in translation from their originals. We demand a serious poetry devoid of the commonplace remark, the repetitive philosophy and a heightened music of profound linguistic rhythm. We publish books and our journal twice a year for this purpose and we are vigilantly on the look-out for poets whose perception and language are so unique that they beg not to be over-looked. Because we are open to all submissions from all kinds and cultures of people and languages, we regard their investment of time spent submitting and creating to be very critical. We pride ourselves on answering every request, every order, every submission, every letter of gratitude and annoyance personally because we feel there is absolutely no substitute for that head-to-head exchange which can and should take place between an editor and the writer. Building this bond emphasizes the importance such interraction can have on one's work and on one's publication. We are indebted to all those poets and writers for making us what we are, and we cannot thank them enough for all the trust they've placed in us.

essays and poetry. Of course we're still looking at any manuscript of merit, 
especially those which for reason of politics or economics might not receive a fair reading  elsewhere.

McPherson & Company is an independent literary and arts publishing company operated out of Kingston, New York.

It has operated as a full-time publishing house since 1984, and has issued over 120 editions of more than 80 titles by authors from around the country and around the world. The press specializes in four areas: contemporary fiction (mostly by American authors), great “lost” literary works from earlier in the century (our Recovered Classics series), non-fiction books dealing with contemporary art, film, aesthetics, and related cultural issues (usually presented under our Documentext imprint), and, finally, translations of a few distinguished authors of 20th century Italian fiction.

When punk rock hit San Francisco (c.1977), I started publishing in angry reaction to mass media articles that reduced punk to spitting and safety pins. Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti each gave me $100, and through 1979 I published, edited and distributed 11 issues of Search & Destroy. My editorial policy was one of empowerment: "Do It Yourself/ Anyone Can Do It"--the punk credo.  In 1980 I started RE/Search with initial funding from Geoff Travis of Rough Trade Records and actress/film director Betty Thomas. At the same time, an old friend loaned me enough money to start a typesetting business. This enabled me to realize my dream: putting out slick, large format books with uncompromising, high-quality "underground" content. The '80s saw the release of RE/Search books on William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, J.G. Ballard, Incredibly Strange Films, Pranks,and my best-selling, trend-starting Modern Primitives. During the '80s typesetting was my day job, publishing my labour of love.

The University of Illinois Press has made a commitment to poetry in a time when most publishing decisions are made according to the bottom line. We can't measure such a commitment in financial terms, however. It is important that we publish poetry, so we do.Many of our more than 100 volumes have been generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Illinois Arts Council, and we are profoundly grateful for what they—and many other funding organizations—have made possible. Illinois has been a publisher for the National Poetry Series since 1984, longer than any other. We are extremely proud to be a part of their efforts and grateful for their confidence in us. Only reads manuscripts in the month of February.  Reading fee!
