Exhibit Your Self-Published Book at Four Major Book Fairs

WRITERS. As an independent author, you not only must choose where to publish your book, you must also plan how to promote it. If one of your marketing goals is to have your book seen by publishing-industry professionals, consider the Global Book Tour package offered by Outskirts Press.  The book-exhibition service enables you to have your book seen at some of the largest book fairs and events in the world.

“The cost of traveling to and attending book fairs around the globe can easily add up to several thousand dollars,” said Elise Connors, Manager of Author Support at Outskirts Press.  Their Global Book Tour package ($1299) enables your book to be seen at four major book fairs.

At each show, your book will receive valuable, face-out exposure on a branded shelf with other titles. A representative will be on-hand to personally answer questions about your book and collect leads from booth visitors. All inquiries related to your book will be forwarded to you for personal follow-up after each show.

Here are the four top global book fairs at which Outskirts Press exhibits:
