The Only Event I Recommend for Book Display without the Presence of the Author



Those of you who have hung out with me for a while know I recommend this even for display of books when the author can’t be present  based on its very low price and the value-added benefits it offers like networking. So your book gets seen--perhaps in a region where your get very little or no “in person” exposure, then it provides their AuthorsForAuthors group on Facebook where you get to post a little promotion and thank and anything else that might interests the group. You get an image of your book on display rather like this one --I can’t remember the year because I forgot to date it and I have at least a dozen or more them. They usually use book stands, too. One of their members writes a newsletter for authors in that region and if you put him on your media list, he’ll probably use your news even in you live in the Upper Peninsula!  Hi, guys! So have at it.  What do you have to lose but a few minutes to get to know the director of the even, Valerie Allen, $5. per book, and the cost of sending her your display stuff including bookmarks and/or business cards or even a stack of sell sheets! And Valerie--smart promoter than she is--has even featured my HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers in one of her presentations!
