Small Press Center Workshop on Book Reviewing November 20th
Publishing Workshop Series continues with “What's Happening to Book Reviewing?”
The final event in the current Small Press Center Publishing Workshop Series series, "What's Happening to Book Reviewing?" will take a topical look at the book reviewing process. Held with the support of Publishers Weekly, the workshop will take place on Tuesday, November 20th between 5.30pm and 7.30pm at the Small Press Center, 20 West 44th Street in midtown Manhattan.The panelists include: Ilene Barth, Creative Director, Red Rock Press and former NBBC board member; Julie Just, Deputy Editor, The New York Times Book Review; Malcolm Jones, Book Critic, Newsweek; and Laura Miller, Editorial Director, Salon.com. The workshop will be moderated by PW NewsLine Editor, Steven Zeitchik of Publishers Weekly. (This event was rescheduled from September 25th.)
Newspapers are cutting back; e-tailers are posting everybody's opinions, and some reviewers have taken to selling coverage, while the flood of new titles makes it harder and harder for media people, booksellers and readers to identify the best books. This panel of insiders - those who control and understand book reviewing - will explain the most important trends and events to help writers and publishers get their books into the limelight.
Price: Individual Workshops - $15 members, $25 non-members. For information on the workshops, e-mail the Center at smallpress@aol.com or visit the Small Press Center web site at www.smallpress.org, or call 212/764-7021.
Please note that the Publishing Predictions - Past and Present Visions of the Future seminar originally to be held Monday, November 12th, in partnership with Publishers Weekly at The New York Times Auditorium, has now been postponed until March 2002, (Small Press Month). The new date will be announced shortly.
