	Strange Horizons Columns: Small Press Roundup, by James Schellenberg
		When I look at the small presses that I'll be discussing here, I see risk-taking, some of it rational and other times irrational (that it is to say, decisions made for love rather than money), but all of it performing the crucial role of incubating talent and making lovely works of art along the way.
		What follows is a list of small presses in the field, and this list represents a tremendous amount of hard work on the part of many, many people.
		It can be difficult for a small press, usually with only a handful of staff and that staff made up of people picked for their knowledge about print publishing, to keep their website in good shape.

	Writing for Small Press Publication
		The two primary factors considered by a small press publisher when choosing a manuscript for publication are profit/loss and literary merit.
		Most small presses have more books waiting to be published than their time or financial resources will allow.
		Authors must be willing to assist in promoting their own work (endlessly and often shamelessly) -- the small presses have little of the time and financial resources required for extensive promotional efforts, thus sales depend mostly on the author's efforts and reputation.

	The Road from Home : UVM The View
		Although Nancy Welch swore never to return to the small Ohio town she left at age 17, the associate professor of English hasn’t exactly been able to keep that promise.
		With a penchant for teenage, female narrators in particular — characters inspired by the friends she left behind — Welch catalogues in 12 short stories the disillusionment felt across middle-America during post-1970s layoffs and shutdowns that left families grasping for a sense of stability.
		Next, she compiled a list of small presses and university presses that still offer a series of short fiction, narrowing down the list to three.

	Council of Literary Magazines and Presses
		The leading nonprofit literary presses were established in the 1970s and early 1980s by editors with a vision to publish literary works not being published by commercial houses.
		Small presses are often pioneers, discovering talented new writers and bringing their work to the attention of reviewers and readers.
		Many small presses have turned this situation into an opportunity by picking up prestigious writers in mid-career as well as bringing back into print (and keeping in print) important books which might otherwise be lost.

	Big Authors & Small Presses
		Likewise, independent presses provide homes for "alternative" literatures – meaning anything that is politically, culturally, or stylistically beyond the pale of the mainstream marketplace.
		The presses benefit from working with an author who not only cares passionately about the books, but who, with a good agent, can put together a tour that will actually sell books.
		Both presses, incidentally, were founded in 1975, and both have published an international assortment of authors, known and unknown.

	Our Story - Modern Times Bookstore
		With the advent of the chains and the consequent threat to independent booksellers, we came to realize that maintaining a strong and viable independent bookstore was in many ways the most politically effective thing we could do.
		We also observed that small and independent presses were fighting similar battles, and that their survival is essential to our survival-fully a quarter of the titles on our year 2000 bestseller list are from small presses.
		Every month, we spotlight a different small press with window and table displays, parties, and sales on their titles.

	Small Presses in Iowa City
		We found fewer presses in Iowa City today compared to its "heydays" of the sixties, when small presses were said to number anywhere from 20 to 30.

		A four color press is necessary for the photography, and also is not something a small press would purchase for their own use.

		The trouble with Lists is they take a long time to make and I would leave off half the items I needed to include and I wrote them on small slips of paper that disappeared.
		A structured list was needed and I spent hours making three (3) styles of grocery lists and offering them to my friends and family, except they wanted me to give them pre-printed and pre-made lists because they didn't have any time to copy the grocery lists.
		My next List was a Camping List since I always forgot half of the food and supplies when we headed out for a weekend in the Colorado wilderness.

	Institute Childrens Literature
		A lot of small presses try to fill a particular niche, so all their books have something to do with Native Americans or adoption or whatever their niche is. I think the main distinction is a small press publishes just a few books per year.

		I think the main thing to be concerned about is that you don't mistake a vanity press for a small press.

		The internet seems an ideal medium for lists and reference material, and it is high time little presses took full advantage of the opportunities.

	MBR: What to Expect from Major Publishing Houses
		The major houses do not live off their back list as small presses and regional publishers do.
		Try to avoid it if you can, but if it turns out to be a deal breaker for the major house, then think of how badly you want them to put your book out -- there is no right or wrong answer here, it's just a matter of badly you want them to publish you.
		This is one problem usually not encountered with small press, regional, and specialty houses.
