Join me in Louisville, KY!

In just a few weeks, on May 21, SIBA & GLIBA booksellers will participate in SIBA’s second Indie Press Social. These special events bring some of our favorite independent publishers together with our booksellers, to understand each other’s goals and missions, learn more about how we can work together, and have fun. Michael Reynolds, Editor-in-Chief of Europa Editions shares, “Independent booksellers are our first and our best friends in the business, yet there’s so much room for us to do more together and to grow together. The Indie Social, pioneered by SIBA and now, in a historic first, co-hosted by SIBA & GLIBA, is the perfect forum for those conversations to happen."

The program includes:

• An office tour of Sarabande Books, a nonprofit literary press founded in Louisville, Kentucky that champions poetry, fiction, and essays

• A presentation at  Carmichael's Bookstore's Frankfort Avenue location, where eight independent presses present on their mission, and upcoming titles

• A group discussion and Q & A from booksellers

• Dinner and bowling at Vernon Lanes

The featured publishers are Beacon Press, Europa Editions, New Directions, Other Press, Sarabande Books, Soho Press, Two Dollar Radio and Verso Books.

I hope you can join us! If you have any questions, please let me know. 

Registration is $25/bookseller with a limit of 25 booksellers from SIBA.
