In my presentations to authors and publishers on how to capitalize on their books and generate revenue, one of the points that I stress relates to authors and publishers attending book fairs and author and writer conferences regularly. By getting and staying in front of people and networking, any author improves his or her chances of making valuable contacts, identifying useful resources and selling more books.
The following is a list of some potential events that you might want to consider in order to learn more about the book writing and publishing trade and get more exposure:
- BookExpo American – May 11-13, 2016
- Florida Authors and Publishers Association – Annual Conference August 5-6, 2016
