Exhibit Your Books at Tucson Festival of Books.

Why would you want to get involved?

To showcase your book to more readers.

ABPA will be exhibiting and selling member books at the Tucson Festival of Books, March 13-14, 2010, on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson. More than 50,000 book lovers are expected to attend. See http://tucsonfestivalofbooks.org/ for details.

ABPA members are invited to display their titles or schedule an author for a signing time.

Cost to display a book is only $35 per title and you may send 5-10 copies of the book you want to sell. To include your book in the display, register below. You’ll receive an email telling you where to ship your books. Title display does not include the opportunity for the author to work in the booth, however, author signing times are available.

Author participants must provide each participating book title, the publisher name and address, and the show sale price (including tax) of the book(s).

After the show, unsold books may be picked up at the March 31 ABPA meeting; if you are unable to attend the meeting, provide instructions about whether you want the books returned or donated. (You are responsible for shipping charges, if you request that the books be shipped to you).

Author Signing Times Available

Author signing times will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis. A nominal publicity fee of $10 for a 50 minute signing will cover listing your signing on the website. Signing times are available at 10 am, 11 am, noon, 1 pm, 2 pm, and 3 pm on both Saturday and Sunday. One signing is available per publisher, (unless open time remains available). We will promote the author/title via social media avenues and on our website, and provide information to Tucson Festival.

Participation is an ABPA member opportunity. Past Glyph Award winners will also be considered if space is available. Authors who wish to sign are strongly encouraged to also exhibit their title(s), however, if they do not, they should bring their own books to the booth at signing time and carry away any unsold books. All book sales must be handled through ABPA.

At the ABPA booth at the Festival, we will accept cash and checks only–no credit cards. All funds will be deposited into ABPA’s bank account, and checks will be distributed to those who sold books after a thorough accounting of sales (less taxes) has been made by the President and Treasurer of ABPA.

ABPA will obtain the sales tax license and pay that bill. Participants will need to report their sales as a “Sale to Reseller,” but they do not need to send tax to the state or city. The sales tax will be deducted from the revenue brought in during the event. If you have questions after the event, contact Bill at AmericanTravelerPress.com.
