Independently published

 Independent Publisher is a monthly digital publication for independent publishers, booksellers, and authors that covers the latest trends in the publishing industry and celebrates the talent and hard work of those producing independently published titles. In addition to our monthly features and columns, IP releases an annual list of the year’s best independently published books, the Independent Publisher Book Awards contest (otherwise known as the IPPYs). IP is owned by Jenkins Group and based in Traverse City, Michigan.

 We here at IP are committed to making those in the independent publishing and bookselling community heard; to share news, ideas, or thoughts, please email jimb [at] bookpublishing.com or visit the Contact Us page.

OUR HISTORY

 Independent Publisher began as Small Press magazine when it was founded in 1983 by R.R. Bowker. It was called “the first national magazine ever to be devoted entirely to the world of small press – its people, its excitement, its accomplishments and its challenges.” We are still celebrating the hard work of indie presses and booksellers thirty-two years later – a long time in the publishing industry, where trends develop quickly, personnel changes occur overnight, and a new imprint is born (or abandoned) every day. Here’s a brief history of Independent Publisher’s evolution:

 R.R. Bowker sold the magazine to Meckler Publishing, who sold it to Moyer Bell, who, in late 1995, sold it to Jenkins Group in Traverse City, Michigan (that’s us).

 We published bi-monthly as Small Press magazine until Jan 1998, when we changed the name to Independent Publisher, adopting the motto: “Leading the World of Book Selling in New Directions.” We published the print version of IP until the Nov/Dec 99 issue, and went to an online-only version with the January 2000 issue. In September 2003 we updated and redesigned the website, and changed our logo to: "THE Voice of the Independent Publishing Industry."

 In January 2012, we again redesigned to our current website, which is meant to continue our mission of being "the voice" of the industry, and to bring more reader involvement and "voices" into the discussion of independent publishing and bookselling.

 In 1997, Small Press held the first annual Small Press Book Awards contest to recognize the work of independent publishers who remained unsung by major publications and awards programs, despite producing a wealth of well-written, beautifully designed books. The initial contest saw a tremendous response and a wide variety of entries from universities, small presses, and self-publishers. As the contest grew and brought participation from new and diverse publishers, it evolved; today the IPPYs recognize medalists in 78 national categories, a regional contest, and an ebook contest, and receive around 6,000 entries per year. Jenkins Group has since founded five other awards contests, each in response to the overwhelming number of entries received in a particular genre and in an effort to honor the nuances within these genres: the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards, Illumination Book Awards, Axiom Business Book Awards, Living Now Book Awards and eLit eBook Awards.

 After all this time, here we are, with the same dedication to promoting the independent spirit in publishing that Small Press magazine was launched with. We hope you’ve enjoyed the ride, and will to continue to come along with us.
