Regarding my previous post on indie publishing, Glen has commented, “In some ways I feel like there’s too much poetry being published right now and not enough filtering, so it’s interesting to hear from people who feel the opposite.” To this, I’ve responded that his question “leads to the question of filtering, the criteria for filtering, and who determines the criteria for filtering.”
That said, thank you to Johannes Göransson and Joyelle McSweeney of Action Books, Craig Santos Perez and Jennifer Reimer of Achiote Press, and Susan Schultz of Tinfish Press for answering my questions about indie publishing.
Question: Why did you start your small press/why did you become an independent publisher? What need was not being met by the existing presses?
