The Fifth Annual Brooklyn Alternative Small Press Fair will take place on Saturday, June 17, 2006 from 10 to 4 at Camp Friendship, 339 Eighth Street, Park Slope, Brooklyn. We're seeking participants and additional sponsors (The Brooklyn Arts Council is an event sponsor for the third year in a row!). The Brooklyn Alternative Small Press Fair is a six-hour event where local (and often not so local) small presses, publishers, poets and writers who have created distinctive and unique publications, recordings and electronic presentations exhibit their work and information about their organizations, and participants perform samples of their work live.

The goals of the event are to provide a marketplace; to increase public awareness of the high quality and diversity of contemporary small press publishing, and to provide an opportunity for networking with the public as well as with others in the local literary community. The participant fee is $10. Reserve your space soon—the deadline is April 30, 2006, and space is limited. Participants with specific suggestions for added program features or goals (such as marketing strategies for small presses) are encouraged to become actively involved in the planning process now. Click here for more details or phone (718) 832-2310.
