Fast-growing indie publishers: 5 standouts of 2024
Mar 14 2025
It has not been easy for smaller independent publishers to prosper in the post pandemic world. Rising costs coupled with flat industry sales have forced them to seek savings, often by limiting marketing efforts. And while larger houses can use acquisitions to create better operating efficiencies to protect their bottom lines, most indie presses don’t have that option. So in February a number of indie publishers formed two groups, the Stable Book Group and Publishers Cooperative, to share resources. “Publishers Cooperative is about collaboration to maximize economies of scale,” says Ulysses Press owner Keith Reigert, who is involved with both groups.
