The New York Center for Independent Publishing
Submitted by: anthrasula |
NYCIP helps independent publishers reach a wider audience for their books, and to provide information and draw public awareness to the offering of these presses. NYCIP encourages excellence and free expression in publishing through workshops, lectures, book fairs, exhibits, and our Reference Center on Writing and Publishing.
The NYCIP was founded in 1984, and is an educational program of The General Society of the Mechanics and Tradesmen of the City of New York. The NYCIP provides access to education and expertise in the field of independent publishing, encouraging excellence and free expression in publishing through workshops, lectures, book fairs, exhibits, and a reference collection. The NYCIP's public programs take place in main reading room of The General Society Library. The reading room soars to a height of three stories and is topped by a magnificent skylight. The building was purchased in 1899 and expanded in 1903 through gifts from member Andrew Carnegie. Recent events at the NYCIP have featured Richard Ford, Alice Walker, Michael Cunningham, Walter Mosley, and, of course, America's leading independent publishers.
