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.

the following: "For God
so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life"
