New Issues listed as one of "15 Feisty Small Presses"

Anis Shivani, writer for The Huffington Post, featured New Issues Press in his recent article, "Independence Day: 15 Feisty Small Presses And The Books You're Going To Want From Them" Visit the site and vote to put New Issues in the top 5.

Editor William Olsen:
"The mainstream publishing houses can't begin to represent all of the best emerging poetry and literary fiction. Our press looks to find voices uncategorized by pressures of prestige or expectation. There is no other way except through small presses for these voices to be heard and to endure in their initial splendor."
