indie press
Boutique book house
An indie press is a small, independently owned publishing company, distinct from the major corporate publishers that dominate the book industry.
Indie presses typically have smaller print runs, more specialized catalogs, and greater willingness to take risks on unconventional work: Her debut novel was picked up by an indie press in Brooklyn.
The term parallels indie music and indie film.
