Thanks for this excellent series! I recommend profiling Press 53, an independent publisher based in Winston-Salem, NC. Founded in 2005, over 250 titles, all short story or poetry collections. https://www.press53.com/

I love Sarabande! I'm a Louisville native and former Carmichael's bookseller, and Sarabande always has incredible work. So happy to see Louisville getting a more prominent place on the book scene and being recognized for it! We also recently had horror-only and romance-only bookstores open as well!

Embarrassed to say I had never considered that indie publishers are also running the grant rat race. Even more kudos for the struggle that can be.

Yay Sarabande! You can’t go wrong with anything from their catalog. Find my poems in their recent anthology of Louisville poets. ❤️
