What is a Small Press Publisher? (starring Jane Friedman) (A People's Guide to Publishing)

During a recent phone call, we asked a partner how she defines "independent publisher" and her answer was "we know it when we see it." "Indie" has grown to mean "dependent on Amazon" and Orwell would be proud. In the past decade, publishing has become overwhelmed by jargon. Well you might say that it goes back much further than that (and we probably wouldn't disagree), but the jargon that is designed to intentionally obfuscate has grown considerably to the point that we have to define things like "small press publisher."
