PUBLISHING LITERARY FICTION AND NONFICTION AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE ARTS AND SCIENCES.
BELLEVUE LITERARY PRESS PUBLISHES 6-8 BOOKS A YEAR ON AVERAGE, WITH PRINT RUNS OF ANYWHERE FROM 1,500-10,000 COPIES, INCLUDING REPRINTS OF EARLIER-PUBLISHED TITLES AS NEEDED, AND IN ANY GIVEN YEAR ARE WORKING ON BOOKS THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED IN FUTURE YEARS. WE USE SEVERAL METHODS TO TRACK THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EACH ACTIVITY. OVERALL SALES, AWARDS, AND REVIEW COVERAGE ARE KEY MEASURES OF SUCCESS. FOR ACADEMIC OUTREACH, WE MONITOR COURSE ADOPTIONS, DESK AND EXAMINATION COPY REQUESTS, FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS AND INSTRUCTORS, AND READING GROUP AND CURRICULUM GUIDE DOWNLOADS. LIBRARY SALES, TRANSACTED PRIMARILY VIA THE WHOLESALER BAKER & TAYLOR AND EBOOK VENDORS, ARE TRACKED DURING THE PROJECT PERIOD. WE ALSO MONITOR SALES FOR EACH TITLE BEFORE AND AFTER SPECIFIC MARKETING AND PROMOTIONAL INITIATIVES, INCLUDING THE NUMBER OF DIGITAL REVIEW COPIES DOWNLOADED THROUGH EDELWEISS AND ALL OF THE RESPONSES (PREORDERS, REVIEWS, LIBRARYREADS AND INDIE NEXT NOMINATIONS, ETC.) THAT RESULT FROM THOSE DOWNLOADS.WE USE GOOGLE ANALYTICS TO MEASURE ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR WEBSITE AND ENEWSLETTER CAMPAIGNS. WE MEASURE SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT ACROSS ALL OF OUR PLATFORMS: FACEBOOK, TWITTER, LIBRARYTHING, GOODREADS, YOUTUBE, PINTEREST, AND INSTAGRAM.THE BENEFICIARIES ARE OUR READERS AND AUTHORS. WE PUBLISH AND PROMOTE TO THE WIDEST POSSIBLE AUDIENCE BOOKS BY BOTH EMERGING AND RETURNING AUTHORS OF LITERARY FICTION AND CREATIVE, INTERDISCIPLINARY NONFICTION.LITERATURE'S IMPACT, LIKE EMPATHY, MAY BE DIFICULT TO QUANTIFY; HOWEVER, OUR PAST SUCCESSES EXEMPLIFY WHAT OUR COMMITMENT TO FOSTERING AND AMPLIFYING OUR WRITERS' SINGULAR VOICES CAN BRING THEM AND THEIR READERS. WHEN PAUL HARDING'S DEBUT NOVEL, TINKERS, BECAME THE FIRST INDEPENDENTLY PUBLISHED PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING WORK OF FICTION IN OVER THREE DECADES, IT DELIGHTED READERS, INVIGORATED THE INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING COMMUNITY, AND INSPIRED WRITERS EVERYWHERE. THE LIVES THEY LEFT BEHIND BY DARBY PENNEY AND PETER STASTNY GAVE RISE TO A GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGN TO COMMEMORATE PATIENTS WHO HAD BEEN BURIED IN UNMARKED GRAVES ON THE GROUNDS OF A PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL. HELEN BENEDICT'S NOVEL WOLF SEASON WAS CHOSEN FOR KANSAS CITY'S BOOK CLUB, WHICH HOSTED PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS WITH VETERANS ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF WAR. WE ARE PRIVILEGED TO WITNESS OUR MISSION'S POWER TO ENCOURAGE WRITERS, ENGAGE A DIVERSE READERSHIP, INFORM YOUNG MINDS, AND INSPIRE COURAGEOUS ACTS OF CITIZENSHIP.
