At the center of the small press movement since its founding in 1984 by Whitney North Seymour, Jr., the Small Press Center is located in a literary landmark building, at 20 West 44th Street, in the shadow of the New Yorker and the Algonquin Hotel. For more than thirteen years, the Small Press Center has served as a resource for independent publishers, writers and other creators, encouraging excellence in publishing and the book arts. The Center offers educational programs, sponsors the Small Press Book Fair, and maintains a resource library for members at its mid-Manhattan location. The Center is co-founder, with the Publishers Marketing Association (PMA), of Small Press Month (March 1998).
