And Ford Street. Okay, it does a variety of genres, but quite a bit of spec fic. YA especially.

I used to dream about visiting Australia. Of course, I'm broke and stuck in the hollows of West Virginia, U.S. I really appreciated my exposure to the practices of small Australian presses. I no longer wish to visit a place of literary intolerance to cultures outside of its own borders.

Thanks for dropping by Robert. Not sure what you mean by "I no longer wish to visit a place of literary intolerance to cultures outside of its own borders". Could you clarify? Most of the small presses here will publish works from any culture and I do review Filipino Specfic.
