Book Expo America (BEA), Book Fairs

2015 BEA Book Fair Starts Today

Today marks the beginning of the famous Book Expo America (BEA) trade show, America’s largest annual writing\publishing trade show and event, which runs now through Friday in New York City. Every year during the last week of May, the BEA welcomes more than 100,000 authors, publishers, agents and buyers from all over the world. While the attendance is international, the focus is distinctly American, with American books, publishers and authors receiving Jason Segal at BEA 2the main interest.

Far from a stuffy, snooty affair, the BEA trade show offers attendees a smorgasbord of vitally informative and entertaining conferences, exhibits, specials and even celebrity appearances from the likes of Julianne Moore, Nathan Lane, Alan Cumming, Martin Short, Stan Lee, Al Roker and Jason Segal (pictured, left) — and much more.

It may be too late to jet out to BEA this year, but it’s plenty early to start planning for 2016 — and Outskirts Press can get you there! By arranging exhibition through Outskirts Press, your book will receive valuable, face-out exposure on an exclusive shelf with 4 other titles. A representative will be on-hand to personally answer questions about your book. This way, 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 in a Post-Show wrap-up.

One of the World’s Greatest Book Fairs Kicks Off Today in Frankfurt

FrankfurtIt’s become an enormous annual tradition: The massive Frankfurt Book Fair kicks off today, running through October 12, and welcoming upwards of a quarter-million book industry guests from all around the world. From self-publishing authors to famous authors to agents, talent scouts and publishing giants, anyone and everyone is drawn to this massive, annual international event.

The Frankfurt International Book Fair is by far the largest and most important book fair in the world. While other international book events could exceed Frankfurt’s 250,000-plus attendance, the multi-hall, mile-long fairground in Frankfurt hosts the largest contingent of publishing professionals of any book fair anywhere, bar none.

The Frankfurt Book Fair is a meeting place for the industry’s experts: publishers, booksellers, agents, film producers and, of course, authors just like you. With more than 7,300 exhibitors from 100 countries, upward of 250,000 visitors and more than 10,000 journalists, it is the most important marketplace for books, media, rights and licenses worldwide.

The Frankfurt International Book Fair is held in mid-October annually at the Frankfurt Fair in Frankfurt, Germany. While it’s too late to get in on this year’s event, slated for October 8 through 12, we can help you get your existing and as-yet-unpublished books ready by next summer — plenty of time to take part in the 2015 Frankfurt International Book Fair!
