#100SmallPress

On December 1st 2025, the inaugural edition of 100 Notable Small Press Books went live on Literary Hub! Each year, for scores of reviewers will read traditionally-published books across genres from small, independent, U.S. presses. For the second edition, reviewers will read books published between December 1 2025 and November 30 2026. This will culminate in a list of 100 Notable Small Press Books published early December 2026.

​

Reviewers read literary fiction, story collections, poetry, memoir, essays, general nonfiction, romance, horror, sci fi/fantasy, YA lit, children’s lit, comics/graphic novels, and literature in translation. They are reading from publishers who pay all costs of book production and require no money up front from authors. We’ve defined small press as 50ish or fewer titles published per year, independently-owned, and not imprints of Big Five publishing houses.

​

We are committed to including books across genres. We are committed to including books across presses. We are committed to including a diverse array of books, including books from authors and publishers of historically marginalized groups.
