But I don't advise it. Rarely does it pay. Book fairs and trade shows really need the author their to seel his or her own books. No-author exposure doesn't hurt, but it usually doesn't help much, either and "display only" opportuntities always cost something. <br /><br />I urge you to read The Frugal Book Promoter. Use the index and look up keywords like book fair, book signings, trade shows, etc. You'll get lots of tips for making these opportuntities successful. Sending your book sans author is not one of them.<br /><br />Best,<br />Carolyn<br />www.howtodoitfrugally.comCarolyn Howard-Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041591136206289558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14401984.post-34123407619149901332009-04-14T09:32:00.000-07:002009-04-14T09:32:00.000-07:00What if you can't go...I have a book that I want ...What if you can't go...I have a book that I want to market but can not go to the Book Expo.
