There are some regularly scheduled writer’s chats over varying topics each week and I don’t often get to attend them. During the course of one I recently attended it was mentioned a small publishing house would not be publishing any new books for the remainder of the year and not accept any new submissions until 2010. Like a lot of businesses the smaller publishing houses are feeling the economic crunch. For a few days I wondered what I could do to help and I came upon two ideas.Â
- List some of them here in a blog post. You may find a book that you knew nothing about that ends up being the best book you read all year.
- For Book Blogger Appreciation Week the prizes I give away will be from small publishing houses.
Here’s a short list (in alphabetical order) of some small book publishers I’ve come across in the last few years.Â
4RV Publishing
Drollerie Press
Living Waters Publications
Red Rose Publishing
Small Beer Press
Swimming Kangaroo Books
