Throughout the earlier part of his life he never aspired to be an author or writer. Cyril wandered into the writing field after working through a variety of different jobs and reaching what he thought was an employment dead end. He wrote and self-published his first book titled “Silicon Valley: Joe Six-pack’s Quest for the American Dream” in 2003. The book centered on his memoirs and experiences on the American Shores. “The Man in the Mirror” Joe Six-pack converses with Joseph…about the American Culture of Acquisition” is the author’s second book and is his interpretation of life in America and its reflection on the world. Mr. Horsham has served in the T & T Regiment and the American Army. He is somewhat military minded and his writing style reflects this…his books are definitely very good reading material. Stevan V.

FAIR PARTICIPANT FAQS April 15, 2006 This should answer the most frequently asked questions about signing up for and participating in the Fifth Annual Brooklyn Alternative Small Press Fair. Of course, if you have additional questions, please phone me at 718-832-2310, or e-mail me at emilyholiday@gmail.com OR at emilybrooklyn@yahoo.com. FEES There is a $10 fee to participate and exhibit for the full six hour day. The fee should be paid by JUNE 10, 2006 in order to guarantee that your spot is reserved. Checks or money orders should be made out to Emily Brown (NOT The Small Press Fair) and mailed to me at 266 12th Street, #10, Brooklyn NY 11215. The fee helps cover: space rental for the event, promotion, and administrative fees. The $10 fee is per organization/per participant; if one organization is sending several representatives, the cost is only $10. TABLES/EXHIBIT AREA The venue, Camp Friendship, has ample tables and chairs already on site. You can bring your own if you really feel like it, but it’s really not necessary. Most of the tables are rectangular and measure approximately 7 feet long by 3 feet wide, and I’m assigning two participants per table (two small presses, or two self-published authors, or any other combination of two…) There are additional smaller round tables, and those can be used by one participant. PERFORMANCE SLOTS This year, I’m trying to book people to do presentations on issues relating to small press publishing including marketing, boosting sales, and promotion. This seems far more relevant to a small press fair than the general readings we’ve had in the past, and priority will be given to those slots. I’m not completely eliminating the participant readings, just cutting back on them. Some of the presenters will be your fellow participants; others will be coming in just to do the presentations. I’ll have more complete details on this by mid May, and at that point, I’ll be able to book the general reading slots. In past years, I’ve found (and other participants and audience members have noticed the same thing) that the general readings only seem to draw about a half dozen people to the performance area at any one time; most of the audience seems to be more interested in browsing through the exhibit area. Some performers have been upset over this, and in 2005, I had Bruce Weber step in as a performance coordinator. Bruce did a fantastic job, and I’m completely grateful for the expert assistance he provided, but even so, audience attention remained low for the performance segment. At the same time, I’ve had numerous participants & exhibitors ask me for advice on marketing, sales and promotional issues, and I don’t have the expertise to answer those questions on the level that would be most helpful to them, and that’s why I decided to pursue booking presenters this year who DO have that expertise. I think there will be more attention paid to a more event-relevant kind of presentation. I also run one of the longest-running Brooklyn-based reading series twice a month year-round at two venues in Cobble Hill; if you want to be booked as a feature, just let me know and I’ll give you the list of upcoming dates – I don’t feel like I’m depriving people of performance time by changing the format of the performances/presentations at the Fair. SET UP The event starts at 10:00 a.m. We can have access to the venue starting at 9:00 a.m. to begin setting up. Please don’t arrive there earlier than 9:00; I don’t have the budget to cover additional rental charges. Table assignments are on a first-come, first-served basis; there will be enough tables and chairs for all participants, but if you want to be seated in a particular location in the room, it’s important to arrive closer to 9:00 than 10:00 in order to work that out. The room is large; I believe it’s 1600 square feet, and it’s a sunny room with plenty of windows. It’s used by camps as gymnasium during the week, and is rented out for wedding receptions and other similar functions in the evenings and on weekends. It’s at street level, and should be accessible to most people. There are two exits at either end of the room that can’t be blocked by tables; we’ll start setting tables up around the perimeter of the room, and then start putting tables down the middle of the room. The room is large enough to allow this set up and still accommodate plenty of audience traffic through the room. END OF DAY We need to end the event promptly and vacate the premises at 4:00. The venue is a popular one for evening rentals, and the custodial staff needs time to sweep out and make ready for the next rental. Please have your materials packed up by 4:00. I’ll help with taking down the tables, etc. APPLICATION FORM Please fill out the application form and return it to me as soon as possible. See the form below. I can also e-mail or fax you a copy directly. You can email it or fax it back to me when it’s completed. The information on it will be included in the event directory, and with your permission, in any other promotional materials including press releases and posters that will be made accessible to the public before the event. I’ll also need some of the information for my final report to sponsors, including The Brooklyn Arts Council.

DIRECTIONS TO CAMP FRIENDSHIP Camp Friendship is located at 339 Eighth Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn. It is near Sixth Avenue, diagonally across the street from the Park Slope Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, and just in from a Methodist church on the corner of Sixth Avenue. BY TRAIN OR BUS: The F, M and R trains stop at 9th Street and Fourth Avenue. The F also stops at 7th Avenue and 9th Street. The 7th Avenue station is slightly closer to Camp Friendship. If you’re coming from 7th Avenue, walk downhill one block along 8th Street to Sixth Avenue; if you’re coming from 4th Avenue, walk uphill two blocks along 8th Street. The B63 bus runs along 5th Avenue, and stops at 9th Street. The B67 runs along 7th Avenue, and stops between 8th & 9th Streets. The B75 and B77 both stop on 9th Street between 4th and 5th Avenues, and I believe the B77 also stops closer to 6th Avenue as well. BY CAR: If you need driving directions, consult either of these websites: www.mapquest.com or www.switchboard.com - both sites can provide not only a map, but driving directions as well (switchboard’s directions include turn-by-turn instructions including mileage from beginning to end). You can also call Camp Friendship during business hours (Monday through Friday, 9 to 5) for directions as well; their number is 718-965-3695. PROJECT DESCRIPTION / MISSION STATEMENT The Brooklyn Alternative Small Press Fair is a six hour event where local small publishers exhibit their publications and information about their organizations, and authors perform live readings throughout the course of the event. I anticipate 40 or more exhibitors in 2006, based on the number of participants in previous fairs. The venue used in 2005 can possibly accommodate more than that, and I’d like to see if we can include 60 participants this year. The goals of the Brooklyn Alternative Small Press Fair are to provide a marketplace for local small presses, poets and writers who have created distinctive publications, recordings and electronic presentations; to increase public awareness of the high quality and diversity of contemporary small press publishing and self-publishing, and to provide an opportunity for networking with the public as well as within the local literary community. Live performances throughout the day are an integral part of the event because this draws a different level of attention from the public attending the event - a live performance can be far more engaging than a static display of publications. In 2005, live performances became a more organized focal point of the event, and I benefited from the experienced assistance of Bruce Weber as Performance Coordinator in coordinating and hosting this aspect of the event. The public is invited to sample a diverse selection of small press publications from local small presses, chapbooks made by writers, and poets, as well as examples of electronic publishing, spoken word CD recordings, literary crafts, and much more. This event is a logical extension of two other projects I am currently involved with in Brooklyn that promote contemporary literature; Spiral Thought magazine is a little literary magazine that I have published sporadically in Brooklyn since 1985, and I have coordinated and hosted an ongoing reading series in Brooklyn since 1996. RELEVANCE OF EVENT Small publishers of all varieties share several common features, including a dedication to promoting contemporary literature of high or unusual quality, at some financial risk to themselves because of the large financial investment they make (often accompanied by a considerable investment of “sweat equity”) with frequently low financial return on their investment. Often the real “return” on their investment is the involvement in the promotion of a sector of the arts and humanities they have a passionate interest in and the exposure to new and atypical voices. Many emerging writers find that this market is the one most likely to consider publishing and promoting their work; the list of currently recognized, established authors who were once published by the small publishers includes most of the authors whose books may now be found in the major bookstores, published by the large publishing houses. While the small presses do not merely exist in order to serve as a transitional stepping stone for authors, this is one of their important roles in the hierarchy of the publishing world. The Annual Brooklyn Alternative Small Press Fair is a timely and very relevant project that I intend to continue coordinating and promoting because it helps boost business for and local awareness of local entrepreneurs - the small and alternative presses based in Brooklyn; because it helps forge connections between local authors and their potential publishers and may help the authors’ publishing careers; because it helps forge connections between the local small presses themselves and may encourage collaboration between them on a number of levels and may help them share expertise and resources, potentially aiding their success. One measure of the potential success of upcoming fairs are the previous fairs themselves; several individuals and groups who participated in the first fair came back for subsequent fairs, and many additional presses participated in the subsequent fairs because word had spread and I had found additional ways to promote the event. The previous fairs had more than 200 visitors each, including several people who represented other small presses or related endeavors who had heard about the event at the last minute and who would have signed up to participate if they’d known earlier. They’re on my mailing list for upcoming fairs (along with previous participants), because they have expressed significant interest in participation, and I’ll be sending them application materials. Participant interest in the event has expanded so much in previous years that I have had to turn some potential participants away because I had reached maximum capacity for the venue; the event has essentially outgrown one venue I’d used two years in a row, and I’ve found a new venue (Camp Friendship in Park Slope) that is not only larger (1600 square feet), but less expensive to rent if we hold the event earlier in the day as opposed to the afternoon and early evening ($350 for a six hour event as opposed to nearly $800 for the same amount of time at the old venue) - and tables and chairs are part of the package at the new venue (I’d had to locate outside sources of tables and chairs in 2003 and 2004). Camp Friendship also has the additional benefit of being more easily accessible in several respects: it’s closer to major subway and bus lines, it’s at a clearly marked street address rather than in the middle of a city park, and the room is at street level rather than having several rooms on two different floors. I will very likely use Camp Friendship for future Fairs. SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY For the purposes of this project and the grants that support it, the term community can be defined and used in two significant ways. On the most obvious level, the geographic sense of the term would focus on Park Slope as the neighborhood most immediately impacted by the event because that is the location of the venue. Brooklyn in general has been a recognized haven for poets and writers for a considerable period of time. Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope may be two of Brooklyn’s best known “literary” neighborhoods, but recently, D.U.M.B.O., Williamsburg, and Red Hook have also acquired reputations as artistic enclaves with a good concentration of younger, emerging, and quite vocal writers, poets and small presses. The participants in the first two Alternative Small Press Fairs came from these neighborhoods, as well others. A different, more subtle sense of the term community could be applied to the types of people served by the event, however: the literary community of the borough. This group would consist of the people bonded by a vocational or recreational interest in contemporary literature and writing, as well as publishing, and this group would be a subset of the larger, geographic definition. PUBLICITY The event will be publicized in several ways; local community and citywide newspapers and magazines list events for free, and will also occasionally list calls for participants for free as well. I will also be sending information to my extensive e-mail lists, primarily those people who are poets and writers. This is a fairly inexpensive method of distributing information. I will also continue using electronic events listings and bulletin boards such as www.poetz.com and www.craigslist.com, and the event calendar listings on websites such as www.wbai.com and www.brooklynx.com; the advantage of using the last two is that WBAI runs public service announcements twice daily based on that calendar, and BCAT broadcasts PSAs based on their calendar as well. Many of these are free; I intend to focus primarily on the free ones. The electronic listings I posted for previous Fairs made an enormous difference in the quantity of responses I got from both potential participants and people who wanted to attend the event. I plan to also advertise calls for participants in some of the periodicals that target the writing community, such as Poets & Writers magazine, and possibly one or two of the wider circulating alternative newspapers such as The Village Voice and The New York Press. The Village Voice’s ads have been a popular resource for artists of all varieties for the past 40 years; in 2005, the Village Voice also listed the event prominently with an article in its event listings. I’ll also be creating a full color poster and black and white fliers to post throughout Brooklyn. ORGANIZER’S BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE My prior professional experience with several not-for-profit cultural organizations has helped me develop organizational, event-planning and public outreach skills that have a direct impact on the professional quality of my projects promoting contemporary literature and humanities programs in Brooklyn. My reading series is one of the longest running in Brooklyn (it has been running continuously for 8 years now, with only one month off in July, 1999, due to the birth of my son); it now attracts writers from as far away as Canada (particularly those who have published with Insomniac Press), and a strong local following that includes emerging and established poets, writers and musicians. Through my experience with local authors, I became interested in finding out more about local small presses, and coordinated and organized the first Brooklyn Alternative Small Press Fair in 2002. I have been the organizer & coordinator of the annual Alternative Small Press Fairs in Brooklyn, representing over 50 local small presses, poets & writers in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005; this is a project I conceived and developed to help promote awareness of and networking among local small presses and with local authors. I was awarded funding in 2004 from The Brooklyn Arts Council, the Park Slope Civic Council, and Independence Community Foundation to organize and promote this event. I have received funding again in 2005 for the Fourth Annual Brooklyn Alternative Small Press Fair. In October and November 2000 I served as the Chair of the Literature Panel for Brooklyn Arts Council’s Community Arts Regrant Program, 2001 funding cycle. In 1987, I founded Spiral Thought magazine, and since then have continued the project as Publisher, Editor and Events Coordinator. Spiral Thought is an independent literary magazine with a focus on contemporary emerging writers. I was awarded funding in 1996 from the Brooklyn Arts Council to expand publication and to promote public performance programming within the borough of Brooklyn, and in 1997 and 1999 from the Park Slope Civic Council to promote public performance programming within the Park Slope neighborhood. My responsibilities include all duties in the following areas: editorial, publishing, liaison with artists and writers, publicity, events planning and coordination, administrative and clerical duties, budgeting, fund-raising research, development and grant writing, as well as membership and subscription coordination. I have a B.A. in Anthropology from Bard College; my professional experience has involved administrative work with museums and historical societies, and over a decade of freelance research, writing, computer support and grant writing work. CREDIT LINE: This program has been sponsored in the past, in part, by the Greater New York Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by the Brooklyn Arts Council, Inc. (BAC). Other sponsors have included The Park Slope Civic Council, Independence Community Foundation, the coordinator and the participants. |
