Citizens for Decent Literature Press
Citizens for Decent Literature Press was founded in 2011 as a project of The Literary Underground. Established first as a print zine and APA (Amateur Press Association)—formats also included Little Books, Roll Your Own Stories and the Manuscript Series – all available for FREE. A short run of limited edition chapbooks including Michael Grover’s
