Sell Your Book at Book Fairs, Festivals & Trade Shows

BY CATHERINE FRANZ

Play a bigger game with your book sales by expanding your audiences at local or non-local book fairs, festivals or trade shows. Can't afford a booth or table, rent a space on someone else’s table and volunteer to be back for their book. In fact, rent a corner at various different tables in the same fair or show and triple your exposure.

The place on the Net to go to find out what’s upcoming in your area, or an area you want to travel to, is at the Library of Congress’ website. When you visit, the listings are in alphabetical order or by state. You will find shows for other countries, including Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. International events, including Canada, listings available. Travel for a month, write it off for your taxes, and include several different fairs and shows while you there.
