The AA Independent Press Guide started life as a
supplement to Acid Angel Magazine, back in 1998. Since then, it has grown and grown, and now over 2,000 print and
internet magazines and publishers are listed from all over the world. The one thing that hasn’t expanded is the
editorial team. That is, it is still a
one-man operation, and it is physically impossible for this one man to keep
tabs on everything in this guide.
Whilst I endeavour to keep The AA Independent Press Guide as accurate
and up-to-date as possible I just don’t have the time, energy or finance
necessary to constantly check and re-check each listing. Magazines and publishers come and go, just
like that. So, inevitably, some of the
magazines and publishers listed here will no longer be operational. There will also be omissions in this guide:
magazines and publishers that aren’t listed.
You can help out, by making me aware of any inaccuracies and omissions
in this guide. Just email me at dee@thunderburst.co.uk and let
me know what you know. Then I can let
everyone else know too!
The listings that are highlighted in yellow refer to magazines that will
accept electronic submissions, but be aware that there are usually stipulations
attached.
Please note that these listings are no longer provided for FREE. It is requested that you make a donation
towards the upkeep of the website and for the time and energy that I have to
put into maintaining, updating and developing all the resources on this
website. If sufficient donations are
not forthcoming I will have no other choice but to pull the plug and go get a
"real" job. So, for your own
sake, and for the sake of other writers, make a donation
and help to keep these resources
available for everyone. If you aren't
willing to help out then the chances are, next time you come here all you will
get is an "Error 403" message.

For years, we at Barricade Books have prided ourselves on providing books
to readers that other publishers would shy away from. Our books test the
boundaries of the First Amendment, ultimately strengthening it and protecting
our personal freedom. In this age of publishing dinosaurs that gobble each
other up to become even larger, Barricade Books is unique. We remain an
independent publishing house committed not only to making a profit but also to
protecting people’s right to free speech. No one needs the
first amendment to write about how cute newborn babies are or to publish a
recipe for strawberry shortcake. The first amendment was not intended for
innocuous ideas or popular points of view. We at Barricade Books are committed
to protecting the rights of serious authors to express even the most unpopular,
outrageous and offensive ideas. Only then is total freedom of expression
guaranteed. It is our hope
that the books contained on this site hold something for everyone. It continues
our tradition of publishing quality non-fiction, with a frontlist full of
unique titles and a strong-selling backlist.

Email: info@bitteroleander.com
URL: http://www.bitteroleander.com/index.html
Established:
1974. The Bitter Oleander Press has
been providing the poetry reading public with a highly deep-image driven poetry
since 1974. We publish those works whose imaginations open our eyes to a world
we thought we knew but were often mistaken or uninformed. A world our habits
and our blindness ignore everyday. We believe in bringing our readers and
writers face to face with each other, with the reality of our world today, like
the one that exists in grape seeds blown by hurricanes into corner crevices. We
continue to publish the well-known, the little known and the unknown poets and
writers side by side. We publish it in English and we also present a lot of it
in translation from their originals. We demand a serious poetry devoid of the
commonplace remark, the repetitive philosophy and a heightened music of
profound linguistic rhythm. We publish books and our journal twice a year for
this purpose and we are vigilantly on the look-out for poets whose perception
and language are so unique that they beg not to be over-looked. Because we are
open to all submissions from all kinds and cultures of people and languages, we
regard their investment of time spent submitting and creating to be very
critical. We pride ourselves on answering every request, every order, every
submission, every letter of gratitude and annoyance personally because we feel
there is absolutely no substitute for that head-to-head exchange which can and
should take place between an editor and the writer. Building this bond
emphasizes the importance such interraction can have on one's work and on one's
publication. We are indebted to all those poets and writers for making us what
we are, and we cannot thank them enough for all the trust they've placed in us.
