Independent literary publishing · Austin, Texas

Bent Life Press is a small independent imprint for books that take the long way around.

We publish literary nonfiction with a bias toward distance — the kind of writing that comes back from somewhere and has something exact to say about it. We favor precision over volume, and one good book over a full list.
