Alternative Press: Takeover 2015 Details

Takeover 2015In the second event of their Takeover Series, the Alternative Press team will  be taking over 47/49Tanner Street, London on Saturday 9th May 2015 with a day that champions all radical publishing – from its independent bookshops and publishers to its DIY-ers; the small press, self-publishers, and zinesters.

A collaboration between Alternative Press and The London Radical Bookfair, the inaugural Takeover event took over Bishopsgate Institute in 2014. Spread over three floors, this was the first event of its kind to bring together UK’s radical publishing and self-publishing communities.

“Takeover 2015 will see us take this event to a new height by taking over an entire Victorian warehouse,” say the team, whose work has the backing of the Alliance of Radical Booksellers.

“We aim to showcase the depth and breadth of the UK small press scene. We welcome all exhibitors – from zinesters, comic folk, book artists, and illustrators; those who use a photocopier or a printing house; have been doing it for years or just starting out. And we are very excited to present this year’s Takeover Exhibitors and our First Publications Corner – a space dedicated to those new to the scene.
