March 1999 - As part of its continuing program to help small and independent publishers and writers, the Small Press Center will host two special workshops in its celebration of Small Press Month in March. The workshop series is co-sponsored by The New York Times, with the support of Publishers Weekly.

The first workshop, "An Inside Look at Book Reviewing," will take place on Tuesday, March 9th. The panel offers a unique opportunity to ask the taste-makers what they look for when assigning a book for review. They will discuss the ways they work, from their submission guidelines to tips for increasing the chances of review coverage. The moderator will be Sybil Steinberg, Senior Editor of Publishers Weekly. Panelists are Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, Daily Book Reviewer, The New York Times; Henry Finder, Editorial Director, The New Yorker; Bob Minzesheimer, Book Critic, USA Today; and Joy Press, Literary Editor, the Village Voice. The Workshop will be held from 5:30 till 7:30 pm at the Small Press Center, 20 West 44th Street, and will be followed by an informal reception. Individual workshops cost $30.00 for non-members and $20.00 for Small Press Center members. For more information and reservations, call 212-764-7021; Fax 212-354-5365 or e-mail to smallpress@aol.com.
