Self-published authors and small print publishers at the
Buffalo Small Press Book Fair speak to the changes in the publishing industry
that have allowed authors to bypass major publishing houses in order to get
their work out to the world. The Buffalo Small Press Book Fair is an annual
event held on Porter Avenue in the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum that
brings together local writers, artists and booksellers. The event, which
started eight years ago, recently expanded to two days, and might require a new
venue as attendance continues to rise. By Jeff Pawlak and Brittney Singletary
