Read Or Die will be hosting several functions and events at the 28th Manila International Book Fair. Our theme is Ang Bagong Libro and we’ll be focusing on new books, new markets, new writing, new writers, new literature, new forms of reading. Planned activities include talks, contests, readings and cosplays. We’ll also be participating in events organized by other groups and institutions, such as the Pistang Panitik 2007 as presented by the UP Institute Of Creative Writing. Aside from which we’ll be covering the book fair through blogs, podcasts and videos in Libro.ph. Bookmark the site to keep appraised of updates (which should be coming with more frequency as August approaches) or join this mailing list.
