Indie Lit Fair


May 3, 2025

Join us for the ninth annual Indie Lit Fair, co-presented by the PEN World Voices Festival and the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP). This year, the Indie Lit Fair will take place south of Astor Place, on the sidewalk of Lafayette Street, between Astor Place and Joe’s Pub. Free and open to the public, the Indie Lit Fair celebrates the vitality and diversity of independent literary publishing, showcasing new and established poetry presses, fiction and creative nonfiction publishers, and innovative literary magazines. Stop by to browse, buy, and bask in the breadth of the literary arts being published today.


The Indie Lit Fair is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.
