Why do independent literary publishers need a service organization?
Independent publishers benefit from participating in a national service organization because while being independent serves your artistic mission, sharing information and resources can often serve your business goals. The collective spirit of independent publishing comes together through CLMP; from posting resources on this very website to participating in the listservs to working with a CLMP peer consultant. Becoming a CLMP member is clearly a choice that each independent literary publisher needs to make for themselves, but CLMP firmly believes that with each member the community itself gets stronger.
