From Our Authors

Bellevue Literary Press with its Publisher and Editorial Director Erika Goldman is justly reputed for introducing to the American readership books of highest artistic quality and for doing so with diligence and great zeal. I was greatly impressed by the amount of work and attention Ms. Goldman and her small team invested into my novel, from editing of the manuscript to promoting the final product. I can feel that my ‘American future’ is in the hands of people who are entirely serious and confident about what they are doing. It is this confidence and faith in what is meaningful in literature that I admire most in BLP and notably in Erika Goldman herself.
Award Winning Titles

Full of speculative daring though firmly anchored in the tradition of realism, Tim Horvath’s Understories explores hypothetical cities, shadow puppeteers, and the imaginary travels of a library book—blending the everyday and wondrous to contend with age-old themes of loss, identity, and the search for human connection.
