It’s a reciprocal relationship, then, and one that we hope we can help support ourselves by bringing you the following list of independent and alternative publishing houses where you can find inspiration and submit your own work to.

Looking to add to your ‘To Be Read’ pile of books? Or looking to get your own work published and added to somebody else’s reading list? The following list of independent publishers should help!īut independent publishers need us, as readers and writers, too. We need independent publishers not corporate monopolies. We need books that experiment and take risks not those that seem afraid to be different. We need diversity and originality in our publishing not ceaseless imitation and repetition in pursuit of a fast buck. This risk-averse and profit-focussed approach in turn risks homogenising our culture and limiting our exposure to new ways of thinking.Īt a time when we need new ideas and voices to counter the prevailing cultural winds, which tell us creativity is only of value if it sells, we need independent publishers to continue their fine work. This is strangling our modern culture – limiting us to a devastating cycle of reboots, sequels, prequels and franchises where the only novels we read are copies of novels that are themselves copies of commercially successful novels. We live in an era where the biggest publishing companies and media organisations are only concerned with stabilising profits for shareholders – and are prioritising making money over supporting originality and new creative ideas.
