Get Exposure for Your Book at Book Fairs Without Being There!

Recessionary times are NOT the time to give up promoting, only to find more--ahem...FRUGAL ways to do it! I thought this opportunity a great way to market a book at two book fairs without traveling.


Let your book be seen in a catalog distributed to readers at the Clark County Fair & Rodeo, April 9-12, 2009. The opportunity includes display of your book for four days to an estimated 84,000 fair-goers. If you have more than 1 book, that’s OK! The cost of advertising is one, low, flat fee!


What you get:~Your book(s) on display for 4 days at the Clark County Fair & Rodeo, April 9-12, 2009

~A full-page advertisement in the 1000 give-away, interactive digital catalogs

~A full-page advertisement for one-full year on the Association of Local Authors Website

~ADDED BONUS! Digital catalogs will also be distributed at the LA Times Festival of Books. (Estimated 140 visitors.)

Cost: $100 (That’s only 10 cents per catalog. It’s cheaper than giving a bookmark!)
Online Registration

Deadline: February 28, 2009

  1. You have used the URL that is created after a product link is clicked. This is not the correct URL to use. Please copy the 2 step checkout url from the product in your shoppingcart account and replace the one on this page. As it stands, your customers cannot purchase your product and i see it is time sensitive.

  2. Now THAT is a bargain!

    That's probably not the audience for my books, but I am sure there are many other opportunities that we miss...

    I've done this before with you, Carolyn...when my book was originally published.

    You and the group do a great job of publicizing anyone who participates.

    Thanks for all you do for authors.

  7. Wouldn't it be great if there were guarantees of positive results for all the choices we make.

    This looks like a good use of $100.

    I'll check it out.
