Silkworms Ink My personal favourite non-profit e-publisher.
Cory Doctorow - Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom "A near-future science fiction tale. In a society where death has been cured, how do you deal with boredom?" Ebook / audiobook by one of the most high-profile champions of non-profit literature.
Moxie Mezcal - Concrete Underground "Postmodern pulp fiction - a gritty, labyrinthine murder mystery about identity and alienation in the digital age."
pixelnyx - Consider What Becomes of the Ashes pixelyx is a true maverick. Consider What Becomes of the Ashes is "a steampunk fantasy of morality, disillusionment and unlikely companionship."
The Doctor TJ Eckleburg Review "Our aesthetic is eclectic, literary mainstream to experimental. We appreciate fusion forms including magical realist, surrealist, metarealist and realist works with an offbeat spin."
Dream People "The Dream People offers an alternative to the maelstrom of blasé writing that overpopulates the aqueducts. Ours is a mirage incited by the thirst for a fresh approach, a slip inside the cracks between what we are told is acceptable, a new (ir)reality that defies definition."
Ear Hustler "When we write, we eavesdrop on people who aren’t there, and when we read, we eavesdrop on the imagination of another."
Eclectica "...quality is the sole criterion in our editorial process. If it is outstanding writing, then we want to share it with our ever growing, global readership."
Fail Better "Original fiction, poetry, and visual art, as well as interviews with leading writers."
Five Chapters Publishes a short story in five parts each week.
Fogged Clarity "By incorporating music and visual arts Fogged Clarity aims to transcend the conventions of a typical literary journal."
Internet Poetry "Publishes poetry as screenshots, image macros, and other internet-based forms."
Kill Author "Writing that burns with a desire to step out of the everyday and into its mirror image, and from there allows the reader to see something different and go someplace else."
Mad Hatters Review "An on-going literary and artistic dialogue between the writer and the artist, the artist and the musician, the reader and the creator."
The Medulla Review "A literary journal that caters to experimental and surreal writing, a place in the hindbrain where breathing, swallowing, and circulation are done through words, a venue for those who believe in creating reality."
Metazen Highly original works of literature posted on a daily basis. One of the best.
no man's land "no man's land features first-ever translations of fiction and poetry by some of the finest writers working in German today. Ours is a virtual no man's land between languages and cultures - one which, like the former no man's land of the Berlin Wall, is now open for exploration."
Twelve Stories Short stories. Twelve per issue. Clue's in the name.
Twisted Tongue Quality multi-genre stuff edited by Claire Nixon.
Word Riot Interviews, flash fiction, novel exerpts, poetry and experimental literature.

Our publications and programs open doors for readers of English around the world to the multiplicity of viewpoints, richness of experience, and literary perspective on world events offered by writers in other languages."
