Houses of Parliament. Les Miserables. Big Ben.

First destination: London. The busy streets and pleasing personality of locals is enough to make you want this visit to never end. London’s also home to the book fair with the same name – the London Book Fair.

The London Book Fair is regarded by many as the most important spring publishing event and welcomes tens of thousands of attendees from all over the globe. Capitalize by exposing your book to key industry contacts like acquisitions agents, editors, and translation rights agents.

Hold on. We’re just getting started. You’re in for a year of fun!

The Statue of Liberty. Times Square. Broadway.

Welcome to the “city that never sleeps.” New York City! On the menu is all of the adventures above and an opportunity to take on BookExpo America (also known as BEA).

Every year BEA welcomes over 100,000 international attendees, authors, publishers, agents, and buyers. While the attendance is international, the focus is distinctly American, with American books, publishers, and authors receiving the main interest. Participation in this fair can get your book into the hands of an important contact that can further launch your career as an author. What can be better than taking in great sights and marketing your book?

That’s not all…

Emperor Hotel Bar. Shichahai Lakes. The Legation Quarter. 

That’s right. BEIJING! There are plenty of sights and sounds to drive your senses wild with excitement. And what else is in Beijing? One of the world’s largest book fairs – properly named the Beijing Book Fair.

It’s the perfect place for your book to get the exposure it deserves.

The journey doesn’t end there!

Wow! What a ride!

Wouldn’t it be the opportunity of a lifetime to exhibit your book at all of the above fairs: London, BEA, Beijing, and Frankfurt?

The Top 4 International Book Fairs for Self-Publishing Authors

Book fairs are a great way to promote a book and to connect with publishing industry professionals. However, attending book fairs around the world can be time-consuming and expensive, unless an author can find a third party to exhibit their book for them and collect leads on their behalf.

Here are the top global book fairs self-publishing authors don’t want to miss:

1)    Book Expo of America (BEA) Book Fair – This is the largest, most popular industry book fair and publishing event in the United States. Every year, more than 2,000 credentialed media personnel are in attendance along with over 100,000 international attendees, authors, publishers, agents and buyers.

2)    London Book Fair – This book fair will help authors connect with over 23,000 publishing professionals from every point in the publishing supply chain. This is the largest, most popular industry book fair and publishing event in the UK.

3)    Beijing Book Fair – This is the largest, most popular industry book fair and publishing event in China. No other country has experienced the increase that China has on the world marketplace, and the readership in China represents an enormous opportunity (and gap that needs to be filled) for translations and publishers seeking to feed the frenzy. There is surging consumer demand for all types of books.

4)    Frankfurt Book Fair – This is the most popular book fair and publishing event in Germany. Participating books are exposed to over 250,000 visitors from around the world.

To assist self-publishing authors manage the logistics of exhibiting books at multiple book fairs around the globe, Outskirts Press offers book exhibition with the largest book fairs and events in the world.

Take Your Book on a Global Tour!

How can you save 25% on one of the most powerful book marketing tactics there is? Keep reading to find out. It involves the power of networking combined with the convenience of full-service. And unlike book awards, it doesn’t matter when your book was published. The Global Book Tour is just as effective for book published five years ago as it is for book published five days ago!

Networking is a powerful marketing tool. As a matter of fact, it’s one of the most powerful tools for an author building his or her author platform. An author who is skilled at communicating their ideas to others can very well write their own ticket. The challenge is that far too many authors don’t know how to “network” their way to more sales.

The Outskirts Press Global Book Tour is a good way to effortlessly network with others around the world from the comfort of your own living room. You may not have the cash to go on a world tour, but you can probably send your book on one! With knowledgeable reps at every major book event who can sell a potential buyer on your book, you will experience easy, “hands off” book marketing at its finest.

The Global Book Tour includes stops at the London Book Fair, BookExpo America (BEA), Beijing International Book Fair, and the Frankfurt Book Fair. The exposure you will potentially receive is amazing, and with the full tour, you save 25% off the cost of placing your book at these fair individually.

During each of these events, your book will receive valuable, face-out exposure on an exclusive shelf with 4-7 other Outskirts Press titles (depending on the various sizes of the books) and a representative will be on-hand to personally answer questions about your book. Outskirts Press will provide the necessary copies of the book and all the necessary contact information for both the author and publisher, so interested parties can make further contact, during or after the fair. All inquiries Outskirts Press receives about your book will be forwarded directly to you for personal follow-up.

It just doesn’t get any easier or more convenient, and if you order now you will get a head start on 2013 by starting your tour with the very next book event on the calendar — Frankfurt!

Going Global: Spring’s A-Poppin’ at International Book Fairs

Ah, spring! A time of renewal and promise – and promising book fairs!

Worldwide, spring book fairs are blooming like vibrant tulips in a fertile Dutch meadow. It’s a great time to plant the seeds for a spectacular season of promoting and selling your masterpiece on a global scale.

Send your book jet-setting on a global book tour!

Although the deadline for the 2012 BEA event has passed, and the London Book Fair was held last week, there’s still time to get valuable exposure at two other very well-attended international fairs this year (or sign up to send your book jet-setting on a whirlwind world tour in 2013 – but more on that later.)

Beijing
China is burgeoning in the publishing world marketplace, presenting an enormous opportunity for writers around the globe seeking to expand their books’ consumer appeal. Publishers catering to the Chinese market are scrambling to feed a growing hunger for translations of all types of books. Outskirts Press is assisting authors who wish to tap into the enormous potential by reserving display space at this exciting event through Outskirts Press.

Frankfurt
Imagine getting your book before more than 250,000 ravenous readers and industry insiders. The Frankfurt Book Fair is the largest publishing industry event in the world. Foreign rights sales and distribution beyond the shores of America take center stage at this event. In fact, authors who register through Outskirts Press can expect to reach more than 50 percent more international publishers than at BEA or other fairs.

London
Each spring this event brings together more than 23,000 publishing professionals from every point in the publishing supply chain. The largest publishing industry event of its kind in the UK, and widely regarded as the most important, the London Book Fair is the ideal place to make a connection with industry professionals, including acquisitions agents, editors and those who are interested in international rights. The London Book Fair is held every year in April and Outskirts Press is making a showing again this year. Mark your calendar to register for the 2013 event.

United States — BEA
One of the largest of these events, the Book Expo America (BEA) trade show in New York City, attracts more than 100,000 international authors, publishers, agents and buyers and 2,000-plus media personnel from around the world. America’s largest writing/publishing trade show and event, takes place in the last week of May each year. While the attendance is international, the focus is distinctly American, with American books, publishers and authors receiving the main interest. It’s the perfect place to let your book shine, with help from Outskirts Press.

Global Book Tour
Why choose just one fair when you can easily get worldwide book exposure before hundreds of thousands of the world’s most prominent publishing movers and shakers, ravenous readers and opinion-shapers at all four major events? By registering for all four in one fell swoop through Outskirts Press, you’ll not only secure your spot in four of the most influential industry events but you’ll get that exposure at a discounted rate.

Exhibiting your book internationally through Outskirts Press means your book receives valuable, face-out exposure on an exclusive shelf with four other titles.

Benjamin Franklin Book Awards Kick Off BEA

The annual Benjamin Franklin Awards take place tonight at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York between 6pm – 8:30pm. Outskirts Press will be on-hand in support of the self-publishing finalists.

From the IBPA Website: The IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards, which includes fifty plus categories recognizing excellence in both editorial and design, is regarded as one of the highest national honors in small and independent book publishing. Ever since 1987, when the awards competition was established by Jan Nathan, founder of IBPA, winners have been announced at IBPA’s Publishing University, just prior to Book Expo America.

Outskirts Press is the only major self-publishing company to have even one finalist in these highly-respected book awards, much less two!  Which just goes to show that award-winning authors publish award-winning books at Outskirts Press.  Congratulations to the two talented authors below for their placement as finalists in the 2010 Benjamin Franklin Awards.  The winners will be announced tonight. Good luck!

In the Land of Cotton, by Martha A. Taylor
In the Land of Cotton, by Martha A. Taylor

Martha A. Taylor was a young white girl living in the Deep South, inundated with the racist sentiments of the times. But Martha’s natural curiosity and generous heart led her to question this racial divide. When she discovered a primitive Negro family living deep in the woods near her house, everyone’s life changed forever. Take the journey of a lifetime alongside Martha as she forges relationships that lead to self discovery and a clearer understanding of the world around her. In the Land of Cotton provides an outstanding snapshot of life in the South during those troubled times—a snapshot everyone should take a close look at, regardless of era or color.
