In 2018, I began following the small-press lit world on Twitter, and I started keeping a list of literary presses. I no longer maintain this list. There's no reason to. It was rather specific to my interests, and I'm no longer on Twitter (now called X) so I don't need the X handles of these presses.
Below, you'll see my original list in its original format. The @ signs are their X handles, which may no longer exist today in 2024. I'm sharing this old data just in case any of it is of interest to anyone.
