Books on Writing and Publishing:
A Bibliography in Progress

A unique publishing and writing resource, Books on Writing and Publishing: A Bibliography in Progress lists 1,700 titles in fifty-seven different subject categories. The Bibliography is based on the SPC Reference Collection, which is located at the Small Press Center and contains more than 400 books. The Reference Collection is available to the public free of charge for browsing, reading, and research.

The Bibliography is an essential guide for writers seeking books on: how to get published, freelancing, literary agents, manuscript formats and writing markets. It is also invaluable for publishers seeking books on self-publishing, desk-top publishing, printing, distribution, copyrights, and marketing.

The publication of the Bibliography was made possible through the kind support of The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation and the work of Paula Matta. Bound copies are currently available for $25.

As a complimentary service to the publishing community, the SPC is starting to post the Bibliography on this Website. Please revisit the following links for future postings.
