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.

Bellevue Literary Press occupies a critical place in the ever-shifting storytelling landscape. The press is committed to exploring ideas and narratives from new angles, and I deeply appreciate that they give voice to talented writers who might not otherwise be heard.
