I often talk and write about taking your book to a book festival. Why? <\/p>\n
\u2022\tIt\u2019s good exposure. Anywhere from fifty to thousands of people who have never heard of you or your book might become aware of it when they see it at a book festival. <\/p>\n
\u2022\tPotential readers who have seen or heard of your book or ebook before, are more apt to buy it upon seeing it again. <\/p>\n
\u2022\tPersonality sells books. People tend to buy books from the author him\/herself. <\/p>\n
\u2022\tMost visitors to a book festival or book fair are there to purchase books.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tAn attractive, professional looking book on a topic or in a genre of interest to a wide range of people generally sells well at a book festival if the author is personable, genuine and clever in promoting it.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tA book festival is a great place to learn more about your audience, their needs\/desires and how to most successfully approach them. <\/p>\n
\u2022\tYou\u2019ll meet other authors and publishers at a book festival and leaders of writing\/publishing organizations, creating useful networking opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tYou\u2019ll learn promotional techniques from other authors.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tYou have the opportunity to add to your emailing list. Use this in promoting this and future books and ebooks.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tYou\u2019ll most likely receive unexpected opportunities to promote your book or collaborate with someone on another book, make bulk sales, etc. I can\u2019t tell you how many times I and other authors I know have received invitations to appear on radio\/TV, speak at local libraries or civic group meetings, have their self-published book published traditionally, etc. One SPAWN member landed a deal to star with his book in a TV documentary. <\/p>\n
