Between the Lines Publishing (BLP) We list other projects with similar titles. Please check that you report any submissions under the correct listing. About BLP was established as a way for emerging authors to get their stories published, bridging the difficulty in gaining recognition from larger publishers. As a small independent press, we have been able to guide those pushing boundaries and blending traditional genres with unusual concepts. We started out with a focus on liminality: stories that were just beyond the realm of mainstream publishers. However, over the past five years we have been fortunate enough to grow and expand our print portfolio to cater for more mainstream themes. We take great pride in the stories we provide our readers and strive to remain at the forefront of contemporary fiction to ensure they receive only the highest quality work.Our phenomenally diverse group of authors have been featured by Kirkus, The Strand Magazine, Pioneer Press, Seattle Book Review, Midwest Book Review, and Publishers Weekly.
