Small Press Month is a nationwide celebration highlighting the valuable work produced by independent publishers. Held annually in March, Small Press Month raises awareness about the need for broader venues of literary expression. From March 1-31, independent literary events will take place from coast-to-coast, showcasing some of the most diverse, exciting, and significant voices being published today. We're glad you could participate and we look forward to seeing you at one of our monthly meetings soon.
As a special Thank you, we're making our Workshop handouts available for a limited time, in case you missed it or lost your copy.

We're glad you joined us for one of our free “How to Publish Your Book” workshops. Each Saturday in March at an area Borders bookstore, people who are passionate about getting their book into print braved bad weather and /or large crowds to spend their Saturday evening with some of our experienced members as we shared insights, swapped stories and explained the process of publishing step-by-step—from book concept to book sales—all in a single info-packed FREE evening. There truly is no better way to find out what you really want to know all at once! Our St. Louis workshops have been described as one of the country's model programs for this kind of event.
