The Contemporary Small Press: Making Publishing Visible addresses the contemporary literary small press in the US and UK from the perspective of a range of disciplines. Covering numerous aspects of small press publishing-poetry and fiction, children's publishing, the importance of ethical commitments, the relation to the mainstream, the attitudes of those working for presses, the role of the state in supporting presses-scholars from literary criticism, the sociology of literature and publishing studies demonstrate how a variety of approaches and methods are needed to fully understand the contemporary small press and its significance for literary studies and for broader literary culture.

Georgina Colby is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Westminster, UK. Kaja Marczewska is a researcher, writer and Research Manager at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Leigh Wilson is Professor of English Literature at the University of Westminster, UK.

"Each essay represents an interesting contribution to publishing and/or small-press Studies ... . the volume's introduction makes a valiant and broadly successful effort to present the industry status quo, plus an overview of small-press scholarship. It provides a valuable analysis, as will individual essays tied to readers' interests." (Jodie Lea Martire, Publishing Research Quarterly, September 1, 2023)
