The Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) operates in the book and periodical publishing sector as a service organization for independent publishers of fiction, poetry, and prose. It supports the literary ecosystem by helping publishers discover new writers, nurture mid-career authors, amplify voices from communities underrepresented in mainstream culture, and preserve literature by keeping books in print. The organization emphasizes balancing artistic ambition with sustainable business practices, noting that strong organizational and financial management are essential for presses to survive. Based in New York City, CLMP guides literature through the business side of publishing for its member presses and magazines. Its primary customers are independent literary magazines and small presses seeking support to navigate the business side of publishing. In June 2026, CLMP launched El Alboroto, a concrete recent development in its program offerings.
