The Top 50 Black Christian Independent Publishers Bestsellers List (Non-fiction)
(Based upon Amazon.com rankings, BarnesandNoble.com rankings, and BlackCBC.com rankings.)
FEBRUARY 2010

Independent Publishers or Small Publishers are terms often used to describe publishers with annual sales below a certain level. Commonly, in the United States, this is set at $50 million, after returns and discounts. Independent publishers or Small publishers are also defined as those that publish an average of fewer than 10 titles per year, though there are a few who manage to do more.

The terms "independent publisher" or "small publisher" are often used interchangeably, with "independent press" defined as publishers that are not part of large conglomerates or multinational corporations. Defined this way, these presses make up approximately half of the market share of the book publishing industry.  Many small presses rely on specialization in genre: fiction, poetry, or limited-edition books or magazines, but there are also thousands that focus on niche non-fiction markets.

 
As you know, making a major bestsellers list actually increases book sales. So, Congratulations!
