Recent & Forthcoming Titles
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
[Bellevue Literary Press] has the wherewithal to assist writers in the development and refinement of their manuscripts by the scrupulous attention of its Publisher and Editorial Director, Erika Goldman, and her small but painstaking editorial staff; to turn manuscripts into handsome, readable, and affordable trade editions; and to command a reputation for excellence among book distributors, independent and conglomerate booksellers, reviewers, and literary prize committees. . . . To me and to tens of thousands of readers like me who value the truths and beauties, decencies and moral authority of literature, the continuation of literary presses like Bellevue Literary Press is necessary and vital.
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.
