I'm looking for a shortlist of respected/notable small publishers that publish book-length fiction, any genre. I know there's a big index of publishers here, but there are quite a lot to parse. By respected/notable, I mean those that are long-established, well-awarded, or high-revenued.
Point me in the right direction, please?
Thank you.

I've decided to make my own list. It's expected to serve as a semi-objective starting point, not as a de facto list. Note also that it is a best effort and may not be 100% correct.
Legend
E - Long-Established
A - Well-Awarded
R - High-Revenued
USA
UK/Ireland/Scotland
Canada
Australia/New Zealand
Notes
* Only the parent publishing company is listed
* Revenue estimate is from public sources and may not be reliable
