Because many of you wanted a press fair with a boisterous, party atmosphere, the fall "Small Press Affair" is now going to be an evening mini-fair with entertainment celebrating the sparkling spirit of independent press.
A limited number of tables will be available at the Tranzac Club, so you can sell your wares, network and exchange ideas, while you enjoy readings, music and more.
The spring fair, which is slated for May 30, 2009 at the Miles Nadal JCC, will again be full-fledged daytime event with space for a larger number of tables and a separate room for readings. We’re hoping that one (or perhaps even both) of these two different events will suit the style and needs of your press.
A downloadable registration form will be on-line shortly. Due to limited table space, it’s important that you send in your form as soon as you can.
The Small Press Affair
When: November 1, 2008,
Where: The Tranzac Club, 292 Brunswick (south of Bloor)
Time: 6pm -11pm (set up time is 5 pm).
