What can a book fair do for you? There’s very little that they can’t do for you, really. They attract, quite literally, tens of thousands of highly passionate literary aficionados to further the art form that is the book. The London Book Fair alone attracts tens of thousands of attendees from over one hundred countries, and members of the media as well. Book fairs are positively packed with crowds of people determined to find new books to read and authors to follow. The book fair is a unique and unparalleled experience, and your self-publishing book belongs there.
It’s easy to think of book fairs as the stomping ground of the New York Times bestseller list, but they’re also for aspiring self-publishing authors, and the choice to include a book fair or two in your marketing plan may literally change your life … and sell a lot of books! Think about it: your book is a bonafide example of an author designing and creating and publishing exactly what he or she envisioned. Isn’t that exactly the sort of ethic and product that has a home at book fairs? Artistic integrity creates its own gravity, its own magnetic attraction to readers. Fair-goers pick up on authenticity right away!
A book fair revolves around authors and the worlds that they create. People can order whatever they like online — but people still flock to book fairs everywhere around the world. And why? Because they want to participate in the social world of books. They want to meet the people who make books happen.
If you’re worried about having to manage a booth at a book fair alone, here’s a solution which might appeal: Companies like Outskirts Press send representatives to book fairs for you. We sponsor booths to feature self-published books at home and abroad. We pay careful attention to the best ways in which one can section off space and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere out of a fair or exhibition space. We advocate for your book and send all leads for interested buyers directly to you for follow-up.
So, how do you make your book the star of the show? Good news, it’s easy! Log into your Publishing Center at www.outskirtspress.com and click on the Marketing Solutions menu. There, you’ll find a number of individual book fairs, such as Beijing or Frankfurt as well as a combination tour package. We have just the right way to help you take your book global!

The world-famous London Book Fair kicks off tomorrow and runs through April 16, welcoming more than 1,500 exhibitors, and tens of thousands of publishers, booksellers, literary agents, librarians, media and of course traditional and self-publishing authors to one of the largest publishing industry trade shows in the world. More than 100 countries are represented as attendees gather at the global marketplace, situated amidst famous London attractions that highlight the UK’s rich literary history and longstanding cultural ties to nearly all of near and far East Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
This year, the 44th year, the Fair returns to Olympia, West London. This location places all the action near the heart of Kensington, the seat of the Monarchy since 1689. When not hobnobbing with movers and shakers in the publishing industry, fair-goers will have access to all the fabulous historical sites, landmarks and unrivaled shopping opportunities the area affords. But the real appeal of the London Book Fair is the exposure that comes right to you in the spacious and bustling event space.
If you missed out this time around, don’t worry: There are plenty of other chances to gain valuable book fair exposure in exotic locales throughout the year (Bologna, Frankfurt, Beijing, New York and more). Talk with your Personal Marketing Assistant about a Global Book Tour through Outskirts Press to get in on the action in late 2015 and 2016.

When most of us think of book fairs, we tend to do so from the reader’s perspective. We imagine browsing the beautiful covers, flipping the crisp pages and, ultimately, taking home an armload of them for months of reading pleasure.
Book fairs are a boon for readers. Well, some of the same things that make book fairs beneficial for consumers also make them beneficial for you, the author, and you don’t even need to crisscross the country to get to them! Outskirts Press can get your book out and about for you (more on that in a bit).
Here are three valuable benefits you can reap through attendance at a big book fair:
Exposure. Thousands of readers, agents and publishing industry pros – sometimes hundreds of thousands – attend the major book fairs in London, Frankfurt, Beijing and more. Even if someone doesn’t purchase your book the day of the fair, you gain exposure for your byline that can help you down the road.
Sales. Odds are, however, you’ll make connections with many readers during these well-attended events. Any situation that puts you face to face with readers is an opportunity to sell.
Real Connections. Readers and industry professionals who have no trouble deleting marketing emails or navigating away from a page are generally far more receptive when they meet the author or author representative in person. This personal connection is an opportunity to get them excited about your book in ways a summary or cover art cannot. Often, they generate word-of-mouth long after the fair is over.
If you’re new to book fairs, consider one (or all) of the following epic book events where Outskirts Press can represent you and your book:
LONDON BOOK FAIR – Capitalize by exposing your book to key industry contacts like acquisitions agents, editors and translation rights agents.
BOOK EXPO OF AMERICA (BEA) – Every year the BEA welcomes more than 100,000 international attendees, authors, publishers, agents and buyers.
BEIJING INTERNATIONAL BOOK FAIR – Readership in China represents an enormous opportunity (and gap that needs to be filled) for translations and publishers seeking to feed the frenzy.
FRANKFURT BOOK FAIR – Each year, nearly 10,000 publishing professionals and industry insiders converge on this event, which hosts approximately 50% more international publishers than BEA.
Take the plunge by getting your book in front of hundreds of thousands of curious eyes around the world via the Global Book Tour.
