Let YOUR
Book Be Seen at the LA Times Festival of Books Without Your Being There!
Several
authors/promoters are partnering in a double booth at the LA Times
Festival of Books for 2006. We are looking for 15 to 20 authors who
would like to have their books exposed at this fair but can*t be there
in person.
Here are the
essentials:
-
The fee is $160 per
book. Authors need not be present; they may, nonetheless, promote. We
will have additional programs available for authors with more than one
book.
-
Each book will be
displayed in a space dedicated to it along with a flier/order card not
larger than 5 x 7 plus bookmarks or business cards.
-
Each author may
supply a 14 X 17 laminated sign with grommets for display.
-
Books will not be
sold in the booth.
-
Books will be listed
in a flier/catalog that will be sent to a number of bookstores*
buyers. (The number of mailings will depend on how many participants
we have and we will accept suggestions from participants so that we
target bookstores that will help individual participants.)
-
Roaming authors will
give out fr^^bie gift bags full of participants* promotional items to
fair-goers and the press.
-
Our booth will have
a Website with links to authors* sites. The website will be listed in
the festival programs and the insert that goes out to the entire LA
Times readership--HUGE!
-
We will post
Listmanias and So You*d Like Tos at Amazon listing participating
books/authors.
-
Supplementary
advertising space in our catalog will be available for an additional
charge.
-
Authors may promote
and are urged to do so but it is not required for the booth will be
promoted by a team of expert, active promoters including The Frugal
Book Promoter. Leads are welcome.
-
Space is limited so
if you are interested, please let me know at
HoJoNews@aol.com. ASAP.
-
Sorry, but no
refunds will be given and fees are due upon signing.
-
This fair is one of
the biggest--if not THE biggest--around. Learn more under events at
http://www.latimes.com/.
Note: This booth will not be like
the ones that large organizations sponsor where hundreds of books must
vie for attention. Yours will be one of only 15 to 20 books, displayed
individually. After the fair books and other materials will be donated
to local libraries.
