UCLA Festival of Books

Don't miss this great opportunity to expose your book(s) for the fraction of the cost of an individual booth. Join the Authors' Coalition booth.

I thought you'd like information on the LA Times/UCLA Book Fair a little early so you can make plans. The fair will be on the 25 and 26 of April, 2009. The book-signing portion of the fair requires that you attend but other value-added promotions do not. You'll hear more about those later.

 

Sponsored by Authors' Coalition, a one-hour signing segment costs $150 and a spot for the second day is $100. We only have limited 12 slots. The fee includes display or your book, your order forms and your bookmark or business card and a poster for the full two days. Those who are not members of Authors' Coalition will be asked to join at the Silver Membership level (www.authorscoalitionandredenginepress.com).

Last year our booth was televised on the Internet. Rey Ybarra from Best Selling Author Television was there to cover the event. He conducted short three-minute interviews with the participating authors. The program proved to be a great success. Rey will be there with his crew again this year. (To see the 2008 video made by Rey Ybarra, go to Best Selling Author Television site at : http://www.veoh.com/channels/BSATV)

Booth promotion will be handled by Christine Alexanians and Carolyn Howard-Johnson.

Learn the advantages of being part of this booth, its unusual value-added benefits and all the details at the Authors' Coalition blog, www.authorscoalition.blogspot.com. Or contact Christine Alexanians at chalexwrite@yahoo.com or tinooshik@yahoo.com .
