Self-Publishing Authors Can Register Now for 2014 Beijing Book Fair

Thousands of authors, booksellers, literary agents — and, of course, the book-buying public — gather annually at the Beijing International Book Fair.

The 20th annual Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF) kicked off today at the China International Exhibition Center. Today through Sept. 1, thousands of authors from around the world will gather at the fair to display their work. It’s also a one-of-a-kind opportunity to mix, mingle and network with booksellers, publisher, literary agents and other book-related professionals on the lookout for talent and compelling books.

No other country has experienced the growth in the world marketplace that China has, and that impact has been greatly felt in the publishing and bookselling world. Blossoming readership in China represents an enormous opportunity for authors to take advantage of the growing demand for book translations, and publishers are scrambling to feed the frenzy. There is surging consumer demand for all types of books, and getting your book in front of this potential market can have a tremendously positive effect on the success of your book.

With the 2013 event now it full swing, it’s too late to get in on BIBF for this year; however, registrations for the Beijing International Book Fair are currently being accepted for the 2014 event — why not plan ahead for an exciting international trip?

Outskirts Press published authors who are interested in participating in the fair next year can find details and ordering information in the Author’s Center (or find out how to save 25% on all four book fair events throughout the year with the Global Book Tour package).

It’s never too early to plan for a thrilling trip to market your book internationally. Let Outskirts Press get your tour of the 2014 Beijing International Book Fair in order for you, so you can get the word out!

Your Book is Going on a Tour Around the Globe!

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.

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

The journey doesn’t end there!

Stadel Museum. Palmgarten. German Film Museum.

Final destination: Frankfurt. Your trip ends with a stop in the location of the Frankfurt Book Fair.

Foreign rights sales and distribution beyond the shores of America take center stage in here, and each year, over 250,000 publishing professional and industry insiders converge on this event. Authors can plan to reach over 50% more international publishers than at BEA or other fairs.

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? Even if you can’t travel to these locations personally, we can help you with achieving that dream (and possibly getting book sales and foreign rights negotiations out of the deal).

Our Global Book Tour is the perfect fit for the busy author who still desires representation at these fairs around the globe. Click here to learn more or reserve your space at the four book fairs today!

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!
Click here to watch the video, flip through the Global Book Tour guide book, and/or reserve your spot in all four international book fairs. Don’t wait. Space is available on a limited first come, first served basis.
