Small Beer Press is a publisher of fantasy and literary fiction, based in Northampton, Massachusetts. It was founded by Gavin Grant and Kelly Link in 2000 and publishes novels, collections, and anthologies. It also publishes the zine Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, chapbooks, the Peapod Classics line of classic reprints, and limited edition printings of certain titles. The Press has been acknowledged for its children and young-adult publications,[1] and as a leading small-publisher of literary science-fiction and fantasy.[2]

Authors published to date include Kate Wilhelm, John Crowley, Sean Stewart, Maureen F. McHugh, Benjamin Rosenbaum, Kelly Link, Carol Emshwiller, Ray Vukcevich, Joan Aiken, Howard Waldrop, Ellen Kushner, John Kessel, and Alan DeNiro.

In March 2023, Small Beer Press closed to book submissions, due to health complications Grant experienced as a result of COVID-19.[3] The Press's website announced in February 2024 that it is "unlikely" that submissions will reopen.[4]
