Counterpoint LLC is a Berkeley, California–based book publisher formed in 2007 through the consolidation of three independent presses: Counterpoint, Shoemaker & Hoard, and Soft Skull Press. It currently publishes under two imprints—Counterpoint and Soft Skull Press—with Shoemaker & Hoard titles now issued under Counterpoint. The catalog covers fiction, poetry, and literature as well as nonfiction such as history, memoir, biography, and nature, while Soft Skull focuses on contemporary fiction, graphic novels, and nonfiction on current affairs, counterculture, and politics. Books from Counterpoint are distributed by Publishers Group West, a division of Perseus Books Group.

It operates in the independent literary publishing segment, serving authors and readers who seek a diverse range of voices across genres. Based in Berkeley, the company maintains a compact footprint and, as a recent development, launched a new edition of Trace in October 2021 with a subsequent edition featuring a new preface.
