NYCIP info

Located in the heart of what might be called "Literary Row," on West 44th Street in midtown, where the New Yorker once flourished, and where the Alogonquin Roundtable crew used to spike their drinks with wit, The New York Center for Independent Publishing-formerly the Small Press Center- was founded in 1984. A unique publishing and literary organization, the NYCIP has fostered its spirit of literary independence for over two decades, sponsoring year-round public programs that aim to place independent presses and their authors front and center.

Now, in a publishing universe dominated by the economic clout of conglomerate publishing, the NYCIP operates as a safe-haven for the booming alternative literary and publishing scene, serves the nation's most innovative publishers and writers, and actively strives to cultivate freedom of the press. The Center continue to flourish as the go-to place for independent publishers and writers seeking to network with each other, as well as with industry insiders, while gaining a more competitive edge in today's marketplace.

The NYCIP's calendar is ever expanding, and currently includes events like The Independent and Small Press Book Fair, National Small Press Month, New York Round Table Writers' Conference, The Emerging Voices Series, and a host of reading marathons, lectures, and publishing and writing workshops.

Membership benefits include: discounts on year-round educational programs & workshops including the annual New York Round Table Writers' Conference; digital audio recordings of conferences; lectures & workshops; party and meeting room rentals in our 1899 literary landmark building; a free subscription to the NYCIP newsletter; special invitations to NYCIP lectures and special events; library membership and a quiet place to work (wifi available), plus a unique collection of books on all aspects of publishing located in the NYCIP library.
