About Independent Publishing House NOWA
The Independent Publishing House NOWA (Polish: Niezależna Oficyna Wydawnicza NOWA, meaning 'new' or 'nova') was the first underground publishing house in the Polish People's Republic (see samizdat). After opening in 1977, it soon became the largest independent publisher in Communist Poland. In 1989, after the fall of Communism and the change to a democratic political system, the publishing house changed its name to SuperNowa (meaning "supernew" or “supernova”) and became private in 1993. It continues to publish works to this day, including books by Andrzej Sapkowski.

Before submitting anywhere, read the publisher's current guidelines, study recent books on its list, and never pay a reading or publishing fee to a traditional publisher.
