A Small Press (ASP) is an independent literary press, founded in 2010 to publish books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that are beautifully written, rich in content, and reflective of the author’s place in geography, culture, and time. We are committed to bringing to the public books of great merit that deserve a wide readership, and to collaborating with other independent presses both in the U.S. and abroad, particularly in the areas of distribution, promotion, and author appearances.

Starting in autumn 2010, ASP titles will be distributed by IPG.

Bermuda Shorts

Bermuda Shorts is where nostalgia, art, humor, and perennial skepticism combine in a search for meaning.

Joanna Biggar
That Paris Year

The tease of memory is what is most striking in this intoxicating new novel by Joanna Biggar. Like Marcel Proust’s A la recherché du temps perdu and Lawrence Durrell’s Alexandria Quartet, or perhaps a good absinthe, That Paris Year surrounds the reader in a cloud of voluptuous recollection.

Rose Solari
Orpheus in the Park

Solari digs deep into the myths themselves to find in them the models, reflections, and illuminations for our own lives. These poems won me over completely. – David Budbill
