What is the difference between a “small press” and an “independent press”?
Practically speaking, many independent presses may also qualify as small presses. The difference is that the “raison d’etre” for independent publishers is not their small size but the types of books they publish and their cultural and financial point-of-view. Other independent publishers may be larger in size, and not considered to be a small press at all. As general rule, independent publishers are non-conglomerate, non-publicly listed publishers.
