Literary Partners Program: CLMP Firecracker Awards

The Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP), the national nonprofit organization that for more than 50 years has supported the essential work of literary publishers, will be announcing the winners of the fifth annual Firecracker Awards for Independently and Self-Published Literature, honoring the best self- and independently published books of fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry and the best literary magazines in the categories of debut and general excellence. Additionally, Tender Buttons Press, founded by poet Lee Ann Brown in 1989 with the aim of publishing the best in experimental women’s writing, will be presented the Lord Nose Award in recognition of a lifetime of superlative small press publishing.

This event is made possible through Poets House’s Literary Partners program. Poets House is an ADA accessible facility.
