Word Up - Literary Collectives in Conversation: A Panel
August 17, 2018, 6:30 pm
at Word Up Community Bookshop/Librería Comunitaria

Literary Collectives In Conversation hosted by Fractious Press. Join a panel of local and international literary collectives as they discuss their unique models, special interests, and products. The collectives to be represented include El Rebozo Palapa Editorial, Ugly Duckling Presse, We'll Never Have Paris, and Word Up Community Bookshop. This free event forms part of a series of collaborative panels and workshop that will develop skills and offer support in publishing to uptown NYC. The events are designed to help our community become more a part of the selection and production side of an industry that— despite an increasing awareness for the need for diverse books —is overwhelmingly absent of more editors, publishers, and other publishing-related roles filled by people of color and other underrepresented populations.
