Book Expos

Displaying your books at book expos is an effective way to get your books before the public, librarians, radio and tv producers, licensing agents, etc.

There is a cost involved in displaying your books at these events, hence, you may want to consider hiring publishing organizations such as the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) and The Combined Book Exhibit to display your book for you at a cost that is far less than what it would cost you if you did it yourself.

See some of the scheduled expos listed below.
