...indie presses give vibrant, political communities of artists and writers a way to share their voices. Views or writings that are deemed unpublishable (read: unprofitable) are being cultivated, shared and discussed.
The last few years have seen an explosion of presses, stewarding a new wave of London literary experimentation that is political, ebullient and raucous.
Reading nights are held at rowdy gay bars, and books are being launched at raves in gay cruising grounds (very iconic of you, Smut Press).
Counter to stereotypes of po-faced readings, awkward audiences and unstomachable self-regard, the indie press scene in London right now is hot and sexy.
