Belt Publishing is an independent press founded in 2013 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Originally a publisher of anthologies about Rust Belt cities, since 2015 Belt has since moved into publishing a wider scope of both fiction and nonfiction. [1]

It has been described as "promot[ing] a kind of progressive Rust Belt pride without succumbing to cliché or hipster irony" in the New York Times, [2] and "serv[ing] as a thoughtful foil to national-media characterizations of the region as either hopelessly dystopic or cheerfully rebounding, sticking instead to a knotty middle" in the Chicago Tribune. [3]

In February 2024, it was announced that the press company was acquired by Arcadia Publishing. [4]
