Twitter Writers Celebrate Indy Press Friday

Today FinePrint Literary Management agent Colleen Lindsay kicked off the first Indy Press Friday with a single tweet: “I am declaring this to be Indy Press Friday. Recommend one book by a small or indy press. Use the #ipf hashtag.” Scores of literary Twitter-types have already responded, and we wholeheartedly approve of the attention the #ipf tag can give a small press.

If you need some inspiration, Soft Skull Press editorial director Denise Oswald recommended “Christy Roads’ Bad Habits: A Love Story. Literary publicist Lauren Cerand recommended a slew of books, including the work of Rudolph Wurlitzer at Two Dollar Radio.
