Bitterly books

"Bitterly Books takes caustic, uncomplimentary tours through ill-advised and poorly executed nonfiction. Because nonfiction is where it's at. Sure, you could piss your life away reading about assorted Beowulves and Kings Lear, but they'd never teach you how to earn a six-figure salary or cope with a loved one's video game addiction. Has Harry Potter ever explained what to do if you're big, beautiful, and pregnant? Do you think that kid from Twilight is going to know why men and women talk differently? "

Stichting Vedute

"Vedute (1991) is opgericht met als doel een bibliotheek van ruimtelijke manuscripten op te bouwen: een verzameling driedimensionale objecten die als gevisualiseerde gedachten het begrip ruimte zichtbaar en toegankelijk maken. Vedute nodigt kunstenaars, vormgevers, architecten en personen werkzaam in andere disciplines uit hun persoonlijke opvattingen over ruimte te verbeelden in een driedimensionaal werk dat in gesloten vorm 44 x 32 x 7 cm meet. Anders dan boeken, geven ruimtelijke manuscripten hun inhoud vooral prijs door het beeld te laten spreken. Sommige zijn direct te verstaan, andere laten zich letterlijk stap voor stap beschouwen; de variëteit aan mogelijkheden lijkt onuitputtelijk."

Timothy McSweeney's quarterly concern

"McSweeney’s began in 1998 as a literary journal that published only works rejected by other magazines. That rule was soon abandoned, and since then McSweeney’s has attracted work from some of the finest writers in the country, including Denis Johnson, Jonathan Franzen, William T. Vollmann, Rick Moody, Joyce Carol Oates, Heidi Julavits, Jonathan Lethem, Michael Chabon, Ben Marcus, Susan Straight, Roddy Doyle, T.C. Boyle, Steven Millhauser, Gabe Hudson, Robert Coover, Ann Beattie, and many others. At the same time, the journal continues to be a major home for new and unpublished writers; we’re committed to publishing exciting fiction regardless of pedigree. Each issue of the quarterly is completely redesigned. There have been hardcovers and paperbacks, an issue with two spines, an issue with a magnetic binding, an issue that looked like a bundle of junk mail, and an issue that looked like a sweaty human head. "
