Underground Voices started as an online literary magazine in 2004 publishing hard-hitting, raw, dark fiction, flash fiction and poetry. In 2006, it started publishing an annual print edition, alongside the monthly online issues. In 2009, Underground Voices expanded into a small press. And finally, in 2013, Underground Voices became an independent book publisher only, publishing 1-5 books a year.

Underground Voices' contributors have been published in the New York Times; have had books reviewed by the New York Times, the Miami Herald, The Guardian and Entertainment Weekly; have written Hollywood screenplays (Blue Valentine cowritten by UV contributor Cami Delavigne); and have had their books adapted into films (It's Kind of a Funny Story adapted from the book by UV contributor Ned Vizzini). Please see the Contributor's Novels and Awards section for more.
