MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

First of all, thank you, to everyone involved in AP events this year, without you, they wouldn’t happen…

We have had an awesome year this year at AP, we had the first International Alternative Press Festival (IAPF). Artists from Sweden, Japan, Finland, Holland, France and Slovenia came over and saw what we have to offer here in the UK! The self publishing and comix scene is flourishing too, with more and more events this year, the Sheffield Zine Fair, Manchester Print Fair, Bristol Comic and Zine Fair, Comics changed my life (Brighton),Camden Zine Fest and the South East London Zine Fest!

Moving into 2012 we are planning for the IAPF2, we’re also going to be involved in the annual Camden Crawl! As well as that there are new events on the calendar, the Bristol radical zine fest, the Book Arts Fayre in Cardiff as well as the above events mentioned, and their 2012 editions! I’ve got a feeling the new year is going to be a good one for self publishers!

Finally, we need some help in organising AP stuff next year, particularly in web building and admin, so if you have the time, we’d love to hear from you enquiries@alternativepress.org.uk So, take care, enjoy the rest of the holidays and see you in 2012!
