The Host Publications team is honored to announce that we are one of thirty-five recipients of CLMP's Small Press Future Fund! This grant is designed to support publishers who were formerly distributed by Small Press Distribution (SPD)—a literary distributor who shuttered abruptly in March 2024.
Though our team has been quiet on how much this has stressed and strained us, it has been a huge challenge as we recovered inventory and found a new distributor that we love (hello Asterism Books!). These funds will support our mission of celebrating historically marginalized writers by helping us broaden our bookstore reach and implement new marketing strategies.
Thank you to the CLMP team and the Mellon Foundation for this generous support.
PS - we love being a member of CLMP. If you're running a small press or magazine, join us over there!
