Small Press Distribution

A Nonprofit for New Writing

About Me


Small Press Distribution is a non-profit literary arts organization located in Berkeley, California. Our goal is to connect readers with writers. We believe that our diverse culture must be served by an equally vibrant diversity of literature. We’re the only wholesaler in the country dedicated exclusively to independently published literature. We distribute these small press books nationally and internationally. This makes us a great centralized source for interesting poetry, fiction and non-fiction you won’t hear about anywhere else. On our myspace blog, you’ll hear about some of SPD’s public programs and advocacy efforts, newly arrived books, and the amazing writers who often visit our warehouse.
