Queens Book Fair announces final author sign up and registration for 2008 Queens Book Fair

2008-08-27T13:31:00.001-07:00

Queens, New York - Queens Book Fair announces final author sign up and registration for 2008 Queens Book Fair. Due to increasing demand for the 2008 Queens Book Fair Committee opening up final Author registration for the upcoming book fair which will be held on August 30, 2008. The 2008 Queens Book Fair is anticipated to attract hundreds of people to NYC, and Piper and Rogers were counting on the event to introduce some writers to a bigger audience than they've ever enjoyed. The 4th Annual Queens Book Fair will be held on August 30, 2008 at the Jamaica Market Harvest Room located at 90-40 160th Street, Jamaica, NY 11434. Visit www.queensbookfair.com for complete registration details and follow our EZ registration procedures.

Queens Book Fair Testimonials:

"It was packed in 2005, and 2006 was well attended " Rogers said. "And I was shocked. It was rainy and we didn't think people would show up. But they still came out."

About C & B Books Founders of Queens Book Fair:

To some degree, the women are all about taking chances. They started their book business almost by accident a decade ago, while selling gift baskets and floral arrangements at the St. Nicholas of Tolentine Flea Market in Jamaica.

They began bringing used books from their own collections to sell at the market, selling out each week. A frequent customer soon asked if the pair could get their hands on books by other African-American authors.

"She asked how soon we could get them, and I said we'd have them for her the next Saturday," Rogers said. "And I thought, 'I don't know how I'm going to get these, but I'm going to find out.'"

Rogers, 44, not only supplied the requested books, but soon found herself fielding requests for work by other black writers. Within weeks, she and Piper were visiting distributor warehouses that stacked dozens of titles from tiny imprints around the country.

By 2001, the women sensed a revolution stirring in the African-American literary community. Sister Souljah's 1999 cautionary coming-of age novel "The Coldest Winter Ever" had reinvigorated an urban-literature market that had hibernated for decades, provoking a new generation of black writers to eschew the mythic glamour of drugs and violence.

Other genres took shape around the same time, including revenge melodramas, romance thrillers and inspirational memoirs about overcoming abuse, addiction and lives of crime.

"It's a whole industry booming within an industry," said Angela Wallace, whose self-published novel, "Secret Dramas," earned acclaim for its unique hybrid of soap opera and mob intrigue. "[Writers] are implementing their own imprints. As a result of that, they're bringing other black authors in under their umbrella. I think mainstream publishing is noticing that."

Amid this resurgence, Piper and Rogers established their own tiny umbrella on the Internet in 2002. C&B Books Distribution eventually opened a kiosk at Jamaica Market in October and introduced its newest location in a compact corner store in Flushing in January.

The partners built their stock through consignment deals with self-published authors, advising writers through labor-intensive processes such as mission statements, cover design, press releases and book signings.

While she tirelessly provides encouragement and advice, Piper, 53, insists that no book will sell without its author's own follow-through.

"They have to be willing to get out," she said. "They can't just drop their book at the store and expect the stores to sell their book. We have our own business to run."

But the women treat the Queens Book Fair like a community service as much as they do a business endeavor.

The event, which offered seminars and workshops for published and unpublished writers alike, kicked off with a networking breakfast to help forge partnerships in New York's independent literary scene. Readers had the chance to meet and solicit advice from their favorite authors, as well.

"Harlem and Brooklyn, they already have their recognition - even the Bronx," Piper said. "Queens was very low-key, and it's just starting to blossom.

Addittional Queens Book Fair Testimonials:

" The fair was very nice! I met some wonderful authors and walked away with a bag full of info on good books! They even had free food! As soon as I heard the announcer say free and food...LOL

Wanda D. Hudson Coming Soon - Wait For Love: A Black Girl's Story It's a Woman's World - www.extasybooks.com http://wandasway.blogspot.com

The word is out. A listener spotted Guilty Pleasures at the Queens Book Fair. She enjoyed the interview and purchased two copies of my novel. Thanks again for providing yet another platform for striving authors. ~Sonya Harris - Guilty Pleasures Books never go out of style!

Very nice artical written up on you in Newsday. Thank you for throwing such a wonderful event and also for you commitment to the self-published authors. Nathaniel Portis Things In Between

Congratulations Carol & Brenda on your vision to host the Queens Book Fair and for being dedicated to assisting black authors, readers and lovers of the written word. When I say, "It is a blessing to have people like you in the literary community," I mean it from the center of my soul! I can't wait to come next year! Yasmin Shiraz www.yasminshiraz.net

Georgia Woodbine: New Age Prophet
By Brenda Jeanne Wyche
Black Star News

February 23rd, 2007

Georgia Woodbine, National Best Selling Author, Motivational Speaker & Coach of How To Make Big Buck$ Without Selling Your Soul

Have you ever picked up a self-help or “how-to” book thousands of pages long and found it difficult to maintain focus or found that half the book consisted of quotes from other people? Well not this one. How to Make Big Buck$ Without Selling Your Soul will keep your interest from start to finish. Author, Georgia Woodbine tells it like it is in a clear, unpretentious and non-judgmental manner in which everyone can understand and appreciate, in her own words. Certainly, she will use a quote here or there, but for the right reason – to enlighten the reader -- not as filler.

Be warned, however, How to Make Big Buck$ Without Selling Your Soul is the type of book that will tempt many readers to skim through the pages because of the great anticipation of what Georgia will say next. But you won’t dare turn that page until every word is completely and steadfastly absorbed. Personally, How To Make Big Buck$ Without Selling Your Soul was a refreshing affirmation, a monumental gesture of love and in parts, a learning experience. Very often, I found myself highlighting in yellow, some of Georgia’s most powerful statements – to refer to for strength when being “tested” --until I realized in my amazement, that the entire book was becoming yellow.

It’s the fastest I’ve ever read a “How To” book, because it is dripping with an endless variety of sweet, nutritious fruits to savor, appreciate and enjoy. Very importantly, How to Make Big Buck$ Without Selling Your Soul contains what every one of us wants in a self-help book – it’s 95% about the reader. What can this book do for me? Once you get into this book, which will without question happen as soon as you read page one, believe me you will be interested in that 5% Georgia shares about herself and more. You will wonder – what type of woman writes such a book? How did she find the ability to do this? Where is she coming from? You will want to know.

Precise and to the point, How to Make Big Buck$ Without Selling Your Soul is not the kind of book you just read and put down. You will take your time and absorb it because you will feel the power in every word. A person who really wants to be successful will read it through, go back to the beginning and study it and refer to it often for personal and business guidance. Georgia breaks it down in a way so many so-called financial and business gurus have promised to do, but she does it without the fluff and stuff, in a way that everyone can follow and actually enjoy. How To Make Big Buck$ Without Selling Your Soul is the filet mignon of “how-to,” “self-help” and “self-discovery” books.

Georgia talks about what’s holding us back and how to break out of bondage and move forward. She even tells you step-by-step, how to move forward and achieve your goals, live your dreams and enjoy the ride. Georgia Woodbine is one person you will gladly welcome to tell you straight out what to do and what not to do because she will, in a way that is easy to follow, guide you through an easier path to success by showing you how to avoid the myriad of obstacles and pitfalls so many of us have encountered and still do. Everyone can read this book and come away armed with power tools necessary for their success – and what’s more, EDGE – that edge that will help us beat the competition.

For anybody who is serious about making a success of their life, if you follow this book and put the “smart work” (as Georgia calls it) in, you have no choice but to win – BIG TIME!

For those who are already in business or living their dream, How To Make Big Buck$ Without Selling Your Soul is a joyful retrospect of where you’ve come from and how far you have come. You will toast Georgia Woodbine for her generosity in sharing this knowledge and insight in such an empowering and useful way, and you will share it with those you love who you want to succeed in life.

The greatest thing about this book is, it really tells you and shows you in a very helpful and useful way, How To Make Big Buck$ Without Selling Your Soul.
