The St. Louis Small Press Expo is an exposition of zines, chapbooks, lit mags, poetry, comics, small press authors, indie publishers, and print culture.

Dear Small Press Community – we have sad (though probably not surprising) news. The 2020 St. Louis Small Press Expo is canceled due to safety concerns over COVID-19.

But never fear! We will still be promoting vendor work, hosting workshops, and doing other things to support independent press this year as we prepare to bring back the Expo in 2021. Stay tuned for more.
