Small press month! Better late than never, here’s the shout out to librarians, readers and aspiring authors.
The Small Press Centre in NYC quotes Alice Walker,
“as water to flowers, independent publishing to democracy.”
Check out the Small Press Month website for information on events and ideas for how to celebrate and support the importance of the small press in your community or library.
Parallel to the American event, the Toronto Small Press group is holding a fair in the T-Dot on Saturday March 26th.
And of course with cyberspace being the frontier for self-authorship and democracy, here’s a wee tip on a resource…
The Hesperian Foundation is a non-profit that provides resources to ‘help people take the lead’ in their own health care. Check it out to find ‘copyleft’ community health books for your downloading pleasure.
