Independent Publishers Welcome at the Manila Book Fair

This may be of special interest to independent publishers, and artists who wish to showcase their finished, unpublished work. The upcoming 2007 Manila Book Fair (August 29 – September 2) is open to indie publications!

From Read or Die:

[…] So to reiterate, if you are an independent publisher, you can sell in the Manila Book Fair. We have Mr. Ed Sabolvoro and Atty. Flores of the NBDB to thank for this and of course Mr. Sandoval of the Book Development Association of the Philippines as well. Indie! In the book fair! This ties up so nicely with Read Or Die’s collective function in the book fair called “Ang Bagong Libro.” We can host an event for independent publishers if enough people turn out. Atty. Flores told me that the NBDB will also support a discussion seminar/workshop about independent publishing.

The website of “Ang Bagong Libro” is technically up–it’s here–though I’ll make a formal announcement about it in another entry since this post is already long enough. But! if you’re an indie publisher–that is, you’ve independently printed or produced literary works (komiks, stories, novels, zines, folios)–contact us at readordie.ph@gmail.com. If you’re reading this and you’re acquainted with an indie publisher (or publishers), please tell them about this offer.
