Need Help Starting a Street Paper?

"Street Papers, a Guide to Getting Started", is a helpful guide to anyone involved with street papers, but is written with the novice in mind.  The guide grew out of a survey of twenty established street papers, asking how they began and what they wished they did differently.  This 32-page booklet, authored by street paper veterans Timothy Harris and Layla Mewburn, offers a global perspective on how to plan and grow a newspaper that helps homeless people succeed.

The Guide covers topics such as planning, structure, raising money, vendor recruitment and management, and newspaper production.  Expert first-hand advice from those who have already succeeded is included throughout, and there is an appendix with useful case studies and samples.
