Hello! Here’s a few small press publishers for you to explore. Some horror, some bizarro, some literary, stick your face in their sites and see which you prefer. I also advise searching websites Duotrope, Dark Markets, The Horror Tree and The Erotica Readers and Writers Association, if you like that sort of thing. Some of those below do poetry too. The list isn’t exhaustive, there are plenty more out there.
Raw Dog Screaming (RDSPress) – “fiction that foams at the mouth.”
Burning Bulb Publishing – all kinds of oddities.
The Strange Edge – absurdist, bizarro, weird horror and other oddities. Currently a website but branching out as a magazine
Kraken Press – horror and general darkness
Forbidden Fiction – paying erotica website
Shock Totem Magazine – horror
Eraserhead Press – strictly Bizarro
Starcherone Books – “independent innovative fiction”
Belladonna Publishing – “preferred genres are dark fantasy, urban fantasy, gothic, steampunk and fairytales.” They also do comics/graphic novels.
Weird Year – erm…weird stuff
Strange House Books – horror, horror porn and everything gross in between
LegumeMan Books – absurdist and strange
Coffee House Press – “non-profit literary publisher”
The Dalkey Archive – literary
Dzanc Books – literary
Jaded Ibis Productions – literary and ‘narrative arts’

Large publishing houses are not the only way to go about getting published. Have a look at these small press publishers covering horror to literary work, speculative to erotica.
Thanks, Madeleine!
