This is a press that knows good books.

From Our Authors
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.
Award Winning Titles
The Jump Artist, the Sami Rohr Prize-winning debut novel by Austin Ratner, is based on the true story of Philippe Halsman, whose role in the “Austrian Dreyfus Affair,” rocked Europe in the years leading up to World War II and who later became famous for his portraits of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and Salvador Dalí.
