A group of people gather around tables under a tent at an outdoor event. In the foreground, a colorful sign reads “World Voices Festival.” Bold text above reads “Indie Lit Fair.”.

Indie Lit Fair

Join us for the tenth 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 on Washington Square South, between Sullivan Street and Thompson Street. 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 Unbannable Library—an interactive installation celebrating the freedom to read—will also take place in Washington Square Park alongside the Indie Lit Fair.
