Small Press Week Round-up 2017
25 November 2017
Oh my, have we had a week! When I founded Small Press Week last year, I didn’t expect it to catch on so big, so soon. Last year, participants included Alice James Press, Book Smugglers, Brick Mantel, Canadian Scholars, Carolina Wren, Comma, Dead Ink, Forest Avenue, Gold Line, Guardbridge, Headmistress, Hix Eros, ink & locket, Kamaria, Linen, Ninja Book Box, Open Books, Propriometrics, Red Hen, Sarabande, Shade Mountain, Steerforth, World Weaver, and Yali Books. This year, we’ve had even more!
Below, a small sample of the richness:
Sunday November 19 (#SPWtips)
Kicking off #SPWeek17 with this #SPWtips for authors: If the publisher (or agent) spends too much time seeking submissions, they aren't spending that time on the people they've already signed, so you don't want them! Get a yes from someone who mostly says no!
— NotAPipe (@NotAPipePub) November 19, 2017
We're kicking off Small Press Week with some #SPWtips on #submissions. 1) Read the guidelines. 2) Get familiar with the press's catalog; would your book fit? Do the covers match your vision for your manuscript? 3) Read the guidelines again. Please. #SPWeek17 #pdxpublishing #books
— Laura Stanfill (@ForestAvePress) November 20, 2017
Take a look at our backlist before you query! We want to know that YOU know why you're coming to us. https://t.co/Ox51iKTLIq #SPWeek17 #SPWtips
— Ooligan Press (@ooliganpress) November 20, 2017
Tip 1: Read the submissions guidelines. Nothing annoys an editor more than a manuscript that doesn't meet the basic guidelines. #SPWeek2017 #SPWtips
— BLF Press (@BLFPress) November 19, 2017
Tip 2: Submit your very best work. Not your first draft, not your marked up revision, not your almost finished draft. If your manuscript isn't ready, don't submit until it is. #SPWeek2017 #SPWtips
— BLF Press (@BLFPress) November 19, 2017
Tip 3: Do your homework. What kinds of books/genres does the press publish? Who is the publisher or editor-in-chief? You can find this info on the website, or by doing a Google search. The goal? To figure out if your work is a good fit. #SPWeek1017 #SPWtips
— BLF Press (@BLFPress) November 19, 2017
#SPWtips: Already have a fully formed book in your head before submitting. Publishers like writers with vision! #SPWeek17
— Burning Eyes Books (@BurningEyeBooks) November 19, 2017
Here's another #SPWeek17 #SPWtips for authors: Read what the company publishes and mention it in your query. If you don't know our material, how do you know it will fit in?
— NotAPipe (@NotAPipePub) November 19, 2017
#SPWeek17 #SPWtips Read a book by small presses you're interested in. Is it poorly formatted? Full of typos? Would you be proud or embarrassed to have your book next to it? Small press can be wonderful, but look at what they produce before you trust them with your baby.
— Sarena Ulibarri (@sarenaulibarri) November 19, 2017
#SPWeek17 #SPWtips Not every small press is going to agree with every one of the tips on this hashtag. We're individuals, with different philosophies & practices. Look for ones that fit with yours.

It's #SmallPressWeek, so sure, buy books by indies – whatever – but be militant about it too and say really nasty and untrue stuff about the majors, like they leave dogs in cars on hot days and use Snapchat as a messaging service.
