Although we have limited this list to publishers with web sites, don't ignore the many small independent presses that often publish works not considered by larger establishments. Many of them are members of the Small Press Underground Networking Community. A list of SPUNC members, with information on what they publish and how they may be contacted, is available on the SPUNC website.
