Small presses have had a rough year, but as the literary world continues to conglomerate, we at Literary Hub think they’re more important than ever. Which is why, every (work) day in March—which just so happens to be National Small Press Month—a Lit Hub staff member will be recommending a small press book that they love. The only rule of this game is that there are no rules, except that the books we recommend must have been published, at some time, and in some place, by a small press.
