I've submitted to Kensington Publishing on a suggestion from an agent who wasn't the right fit for my book. I'm looking to submit to Cleis and Dreamspinner too. Does anyone know anything about these publishers?

Of those three only Dreamspinner is an epub. I don't know about them specifically but you should make sure you are aware of the typical sales volumes of your options.
