Since 1996, the Small Publishers Association of North America (SPAN) has been committed to supporting authors and independent publishers as a nonprofit trade association. Our mission is to build successful writing and publishing businesses.
With 800+ members, we run a wide gamut from one-book self-publishers and authors to firms with more than 800 books in print. SPAN’s membership also includes suppliers to the publishing industry. These Sponsor and Associate Vendor Members are resources for the products and services you need.
SPAN’s promise is to provide benefits to our members that will help sell more books, make more money, and raise their standing as experts in their field.
Publishers know there is always much to learn in the fast-changing publishing industry. SPAN is a dynamic, growing organization dedicated to the success of our members.
