Event notice - Publish and Be Damned happens on August 3 2008 at Rochelle School in Shoreditch
Publish and be Damned (PaBD) is an annual one-day self-publishing fair in London, happening this year on Sunday, August 3 2008. Visitors to the event can see and buy a range of creative and esoteric journals and glossy periodicals.
PaBD provides a place for writers, artists and musicians to distribute and display their work amongst other producers and the public. It profiles individual and experimental publications outside of the commercial mainstream, and the fair offers a rare opportunity to discover a wide variety of publications and meet their producers.

This year for the first time, PaBD has invited the teams behind three special projects to participate. The first is Ooga Booga, a shop in Chinatown, Los Angeles run by Wendy Yao. The shop opened in 2004 with the focus on independent culture, selling artist's books and multiples, music and clothing.
Second special group invited is LUX, an arts agency that explores ideas around artists' moving image practice through exhibition, distribution, publishing, education and research.
In addition, London's radio arts station Resonance104.4fm will produce Podcast and Be Damned, a special Publish and Be Damned audio literary anthology and make it available for download as a podcast within 24 hours of the fair.
Publish and Be Damned has become a key annual event in the summer. It is run by Sarah McCrory and Joe Scotland and was originally conceived in 2004 by Kit Hammonds and Emily Pethick.
The project is supported by Arts Council England, London and The Elephant Trust, with assistance from The A Foundation and Studio Voltaire.
Publish and Be Damned runs at Rochelle School, London on Sunday August 3 from 12-6pm, and admission is free.
