Whats the difference between an independent press and a small press?
For most presses that call themselves “independent,” there is little practical difference. However, for most publishers who are small in size, their raison d’etre is not to be small. Rather, they are here to publish quality books from a particular point of view, and the cultural and, at times, even the financial impact of their work is far from small in today’s publishing climate, which is dominated by a few gigantic houses.
