(Note: If you find that any of the publishers on this list are no longer accepting unsolicited submissions, please leave a comment below so I can update the list.)ġ. So, here is my list of 12 small presses who will either accept query letters directly from writers or who will accept submissions of writing directly from writers. In this light I think we can safely say that the editors of these presses are looking for great literature, the type of literature that a large publisher might not take a chance on, but which has potential and should be in print. The second thing I noticed was a lot of the presses I found had published writers who were rejected by big publishing houses and in a lot of cases those titles had ended up receiving awards and high-acclaim.
I don’t know why this is, but it pushed me into high-gear to get this list done before the end of the month. The first thing I noticed as I started poking around was that a large amount of small presses only read unsolicited manuscripts and query letters in June. I often joke that I write for a niche audience of about ten people so I figured maybe an indie press would be the way to go to get my short story collection published. This past weekend I started researching small publishing houses.
