CLMP is dedicated to helping bookstores and libraries carry and spotlight books published by independent literary publishers. The following resources are designed to help booksellers and librarians stay abreast of what’s happening with indie presses and literary magazines.
Indie Lit on the Shelf
Indie Lit on the Shelf, CLMP’s monthly newsletter for booksellers, features roundups of award-winning and top-selling books from the small-press literary world, spotlights on magazines and presses from across the country, and the latest news from indie publishers.
Themed Roundups for Bookstores and Libraries
These monthly roundups, designed to help booksellers and librarians spotlight independently published literature year-round, each feature 10 to 12 books around a specific occasion or theme. (Discover longer themed reading lists, featuring dozens of titles each, here.)
