March is SMALL PRESS MONTH

March is Small Press Month. The Small Press Center and Publishers Marketing Association (PMA) are joining together to create the 9th annual month-long promotion of independent publishers.

The 70,000 publishers in this group accounted for nearly 30 billion dollars in book sales. Independent publishers are publishing unknown authors, enhancing the careers of established writers, constantly taking risks, exploring innovative ideas and, through their diverse titles, reaching new audiences. Individual expression is the driving force behind these publishers.
