In Celebration of this year's 5th Annual Harlem Book Fair on Long Island, scheduled Saturday, September 29, 2007, we are producing a special Commemorative Journal. The journal will be a colorful, very festive, and educational 42-page 7 ½ x 10 size booklet celebrating the literary achievements of the participating authors and the milestone of the 5th anniversary of Harlem Book Fair on Long Island.

The journal, a MUST-HAVE souvenir, will be distributed at the Book Fair on Saturday, September 29. We are currently soliciting journal ads. Deadline for submission is September 15. You don’t want to be left out!!!

Harlem Book Fair was established in 1999 by Max Rodriguez, publisher of QBR The Black Book Review, to bridge the literacy divide in the black community and the urban areas around the nation. Each year, since its inception, noted African-American and Hispanic authors have appeared for book-signings, panel discussions, readings, workshops, and “open mike” sessions about their work.

The community event, designed to promote literacy and literary endeavor on Long Island, is also an opportunity for authors to encourage our youth and dialogue with the community. This year even proves to be better, as a variety of merchants have been earmarked and will be on hand to exhibit their products/services.

What started in Harlem has found permanent grounds here on Long Island, courtesy of The African Atlantic Genealogical Society (http://www.aagsinc.net), with whom Mr. Rodriguez joined forces to début the first Harlem Book Fair on Long Island in 2003. Since then, Harlem Book Fair on Long Island has been a mainstay and continues to receive much acclaim. Each year Black and Hispanic writers, venders, residents, and politicians alike, along with several thousand consumers, continue to grace their presence at the Book Fair.

Much is expected this year and your journal ad and/or information about you will reach hundreds and thousands of avid readers and potential consumers who continue to make their presence known at this wonderful event.
