Independent book publishing in the San Francisco Bay Area
The Bay Area has a long history of independent book publishing. Over at Right Reading I’ve listed ten Bay Area presses that would make good destinations for holiday shopping. The presses I included are:
- Counterpoint Press
- Gingko Press
- Heyday Books
- Manic D Press
- McSweeney’s Books
- Mercury House
- Parallax Press
- Re/Search
- Stone Bridge Press
- Whereabouts Press
What other publishers deserve mention?

I have just completed a novel on an Northern Irish non fiction saga,, The Bold Tartan Men of Ulster,, I am completing part two ,, I would prefer a American editor or publisher than a British source,, as I am planning a return to the USA in the future. Would you or someone you know be in a position to engaged my work.
Yours, James Gray
