An Annual Celebration
in Support of Independent
Literary Publishing

November 2, 6 PM

The Church of the Holy Apostles
296 9th Avenue, New York City

We’re so grateful to all who joined us for the 2022 CLMP Benefit! It was a marvelous celebration of the power of the independent literary community. As honoree and legendary independent bookseller Mitchell Kaplan said in his remarks, “I feel so much in tune with everything that CLMP is doing, everything the independent presses are doing. As I sit here, hearing everyone speak, what dawned on me was something very simple. When people ask me why I do what I do, it’s so I can sit in a room like this tonight, and listen to the brilliance and to all these remarkable people. It’s something that I don’t take lightly.”

If you couldn’t join us, it’s not too late to help us meet our fundraising goal!
