Is there a comprehensive list of legit indie publishers out there and what they specialize in? I’m talking the query tracker of indie pubs.

I’ve got this oddball manuscript I’m in love that the right micro platform would kill for.

The cover of By Hand & Eye by George R. Walker & Jim Tolpin

Adding books to the eBay store today & here's a cool one:

"By Hand & Eye," from Lost Art Press, an indy publisher founded by 2 woodworkers in 2007.

Love this line from their website: "We manufacture all of our books to last at least a century."

Dear #indiepublishers I know you're busy, but 3 MONTHS of dead air after a short correspondance asking me to resend my manuscript...where you haven't even acknowledged that you received the resend of my manuscrip, despite requests?

I'm patient, but goddamn that's poor form.

From 2014 to 2015 I slavishly researched, compiled and wrote the first 3 drafts of this book. My publisher became my co-author. The 330+ page version was released in 2018. Autographed copies available prepaid.

Quite the pile of books here! 📚📚📚
Incredibly grateful to @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social and Soft Skull Press for going with this wild ride of a book.
