Indie & Boutique Publishers


Indie and boutique publishers are smaller publishing houses that tend to specialize in a specific subject area. Indie and boutique publishing is common in genres that demand a greater level of expertise or that are only saleable to a limited readership.

These houses may tend to work in geographically smaller and more dedicated markets selling local authors and stories.
