SUPPORT THE MONTREAL ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR
We are looking for volunteers to actively support the organizing of this year's Bookfair,
starting now! If you can support us, get in touch: info@anarchistbookfair.ca. Here are
some specific ways you can support us now:
a) Promote our Callout for Proposals
The Bookfair is currently seeking proposals for workshops, theme rooms, tables, art, film
and Festival of Anarchy events. The callout for proposals is linked on our website here:
www.anarchistbookfair.ca/callout-for-proposals-2015.
Please promote this callout widely to anyone who might want to participate in this year's
Anarchist Bookfair. The deadline for proposals is April 3, 2015 (for workshops, theme
rooms, tables, art and film) and April 17, 2015 (for Festival of Anarchy events).
b) Advertising in your publication
Do you publish a magazine, newspaper, journal or other publication? Do you moderate an
e-mail list, an e-bulletin, or update a website? Will you be publishing before May 1, 2015?
If so, please consider running an announcement for the upcoming Montreal Anarchist
Bookfair. We can send you an ad specific to your publication. The Montreal Anarchist
Bookfair is organized on a very modest budget by an all-volunteer collective, so we cannot
pay you for ads. But we can link to your publication from our website as a form of mutual
support.
Please get in touch with us at info@salonanarchiste.ca if you are able to offer ad space
in your publication.
c) Web Links
If you maintain a website, please consider linking to our website. We're at
www.anarchistbookfair.ca (in English) and www.salonanarchiste.ca (in French).
d) Postering/Flyering in Montréal
If you can help promote the Bookfair and Festival of Anarchy in your neighborhood, school
or community, please get in touch: info@salonanarchiste.ca
We will be actively promoting the 2015 Bookfair all over the Montreal-area. Let us know if
you can help with postering or flyering.
If you are from outside Montreal, get in touch if you would like us to send you posters
and pamphlets. We are hoping to have these materials available for download on our website
later in March.
e) Volunteer for the Anarchist Bookfair
The Montreal Anarchist Bookfair is seeking the support of volunteers who can help with the
organization and promotion of this year’s Bookfair and Festival of Anarchy.
There are many tasks associated with the Bookfair, including planning and preparing for
childcare and kids activities, Art and Anarchy, workshops and presentations, organizing
tables and distributors, various logistics including food, translations, and more. As
well, there is the promotion of the Bookfair itself, which includes postering, flyering,
online publicity and more.
If you can help volunteer with any of these tasks, please get in touch at any time by
phone or e-mail. If you have any particular skills or contributions you can make towards
the organization of the Bookfair, get in touch as well.
Thanks for considering these requests.
