Alternative Book Press is a new publishing company established in October 2012 by Columbia University and Cornell University graduates with the following aim in view: To identify and publish genuine, pathbreaking works reflecting alternative viewpoints far away from the huge volumes of matter in publishing today. Works that stand out. Works that are not written primarily from the point of view of sales, but rather works that will be seen 50 or 100 years from now as of lasting import.

Ahsahta Press champions and promotes surprising, relevant, and accessible experimental poetry that more commercially minded small presses avoid; in making it widely available, we aim to increase its readership.

New American Press is an independent literary publisher committed to bringing readers the best in contemporary fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and translations from across the United States and around the world. We release a new anthology of Midwestern writing each year and annually award a New American Fiction Prize and New American Poetry Prize. Our literary journal, MAYDAY Magazine, presents new writing and visual art to a growing community of international readers.

Open Books Press is dedicated to publishing quality books. When we're open for submissions, we accept adult nonfiction, and fiction for all ages (including some YA and children's). All authors with exceptional work will be given serious consideration.
