2008 Keynote Speaker - Dominic Carter
"Inside City Hall" Host/
Senior Political Reporter
Dominic Carter
"Inside City Hall" Host
Senior Political Reporter
Veteran newsman Dominic Carter has been described as the best
political reporter working in New York television today. A fixture at
NY1 since the newschannel launched in 1992, Carter in 2007 released a
book on his life, titled No Momma's Boy, in which he chronicles his
triumphant struggle to overcome his mother's mental illness while
growing up in a Bronx housing project.
As the host of NY1's nightly political show, "Inside City Hall,"
Carter has handled some of the station's most challenging assignments
and has interviewed every major political player in the state, as
well as many national and international leaders.
In 2006 he received widespread acclaim for his role as the moderator
of series of state-wide debates for governor, U.S. Senator and state
attorney general. During the first debate with Senator Hillary
Clinton, he made international headlines when Clinton said for the
first time that she was thinking about running for president.
His numerous exclusive interviews include former President Bill
Clinton, the late John Cardinal O'Conner and the parents of police-
brutality victim Amadou Diallo. As a radio reporter he conducted an
exclusive interview with Nelson Mandela during Mandela's historic
visit to the United States – an interview he conducted as thousands
of journalists from around the country pursued the South African
president.
The NY1 stalwart has also reported extensively from abroad. In 1993
he was the only television journalist in Japan with then-Mayor David
Dinkins at the time of the first World Trade Center terrorist
bombing, and his interview with the mayor made headlines back in New
York.
He twice traveled to Israel to cover visits to the region by
then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani; he has reported on the famine from Somalia;
and he has spent time in the Persian Gulf.
No Mamma's Boy, his self-published memoir, was released in May 2007
to critical acclaim. Newsday said, "No TV anchor has ever produced a
memoir as grippingly honest as this." The book is available at Barnes
and Noble stores and online at barnesandnoble.com.

Queens Book Fair announces final author sign up and registration for 2008 Queens Book Fair
Queens, New York - Queens Book Fair announces final author sign up and registration for 2008 Queens Book Fair. Due to increasing demand for the 2008 Queens Book Fair Committee opening up final Author registration for the upcoming book fair which will be held on August 30, 2008. The 2008 Queens Book Fair is anticipated to attract hundreds of people to NYC, and Piper and Rogers were counting on the event to introduce some writers to a bigger audience than they've ever enjoyed. The 4th Annual Queens Book Fair will be held on August 30, 2008 at the Jamaica Market Harvest Room located at 90-40 160th Street, Jamaica, NY 11434. Visit www.queensbookfair.com for complete registration details and follow our EZ registration procedures.
Queens Book Fair Testimonials:
"It was packed in 2005, and 2006 was well attended " Rogers said. "And I was shocked. It was rainy and we didn't think people would show up. But they still came out."
About C & B Books Founders of Queens Book Fair:
To some degree, the women are all about taking chances. They started their book business almost by accident a decade ago, while selling gift baskets and floral arrangements at the St. Nicholas of Tolentine Flea Market in Jamaica.
They began bringing used books from their own collections to sell at the market, selling out each week. A frequent customer soon asked if the pair could get their hands on books by other African-American authors.
"She asked how soon we could get them, and I said we'd have them for her the next Saturday," Rogers said. "And I thought, 'I don't know how I'm going to get these, but I'm going to find out.'"
Rogers, 44, not only supplied the requested books, but soon found herself fielding requests for work by other black writers. Within weeks, she and Piper were visiting distributor warehouses that stacked dozens of titles from tiny imprints around the country.
By 2001, the women sensed a revolution stirring in the African-American literary community. Sister Souljah's 1999 cautionary coming-of age novel "The Coldest Winter Ever" had reinvigorated an urban-literature market that had hibernated for decades, provoking a new generation of black writers to eschew the mythic glamour of drugs and violence.
Other genres took shape around the same time, including revenge melodramas, romance thrillers and inspirational memoirs about overcoming abuse, addiction and lives of crime.
"It's a whole industry booming within an industry," said Angela Wallace, whose self-published novel, "Secret Dramas," earned acclaim for its unique hybrid of soap opera and mob intrigue. "[Writers] are implementing their own imprints. As a result of that, they're bringing other black authors in under their umbrella. I think mainstream publishing is noticing that."
Amid this resurgence, Piper and Rogers established their own tiny umbrella on the Internet in 2002. C&B Books Distribution eventually opened a kiosk at Jamaica Market in October and introduced its newest location in a compact corner store in Flushing in January.
The partners built their stock through consignment deals with self-published authors, advising writers through labor-intensive processes such as mission statements, cover design, press releases and book signings.
While she tirelessly provides encouragement and advice, Piper, 53, insists that no book will sell without its author's own follow-through.
"They have to be willing to get out," she said. "They can't just drop their book at the store and expect the stores to sell their book. We have our own business to run."
But the women treat the Queens Book Fair like a community service as much as they do a business endeavor.
The event, which offered seminars and workshops for published and unpublished writers alike, kicked off with a networking breakfast to help forge partnerships in New York's independent literary scene. Readers had the chance to meet and solicit advice from their favorite authors, as well.
"Harlem and Brooklyn, they already have their recognition - even the Bronx," Piper said. "Queens was very low-key, and it's just starting to blossom.
Addittional Queens Book Fair Testimonials:
" The fair was very nice! I met some wonderful authors and walked away with a bag full of info on good books! They even had free food! As soon as I heard the announcer say free and food...LOL
