Make Plans Now for Spring Promotional Opportunities<\/strong>
\nDid you know that organizers are already planning book festivals and writers conferences held in the spring and summer? Some coordinators are even putting the finishing touches on their fall 2009 events. If you want to attend such events next year, start now scoping them out. <\/p>\n

Use your favorite search engine. Type in “writers conference” or “book festival” and the city\/state. Whether you want to attend events close to home or take advantage of those in areas you’ll be visiting, it’s wise to locate the possibilities and compare the important elements. For example, how many visitors does the book festival generally attract and how much do they want for a booth? If the foot traffic is minimal (or not available) and the cost high ($400 to $900), keep looking. Likewise, make sure that a writers conference has the elements you seek&#8212agent meetings, workshops related to publishing protocol, well-known professional presenters and\/or high profile authors. Match the conference or the book festival to your particular needs and desires. Compare prices against value. And be sure to take into consideration the location. Will you have to pay travel expenses or is it local or in an area where you can stay with friends?<\/p>\n
