My experience with the Indie press has served me well: a novel, my first, from Flambard (sadly now no longer) a collection of short stories from Iron Press and this year a new novel, Sometimes A River Song, published by the terrific Indie, Linen Press.
If you haven’t heard of them before you have now – ‘Linen Press is a small, independent publisher run by women, for women. Our policy is to encourage and promote women writers and to give voice to a wide range of perspectives and themes that are relevant to women.’
As writers increasingly turn to the small presses in the hope of publication, Mslexia have produced what looks like an invaluable guide to Indie Presses 2016/17
‘Indie Presses 2016/17 is a comprehensive catalogue of more than 400 independent literary presses operating right now in the UK and the Republic of 
Ireland. Compiled by the team at Mslexia, it’s a vital resource for all writers, men and women alike.
If you’re wondering where to submit your poems or short fiction, if you’ve completed a pamphlet or full-length collection, or a novel, biography or memoir that you’d like to see published, this guide gives you all the information you need.’
