HELLO AUTHORS!!!
Or should I say, Buongiorno,
Bonjour, Buenas Dias, Guten Abend, Shalom, Hi y’all…,
Travel is
the theme of the Friends of Deltona Library’s upcoming 3rd annual
Authors Book Fair. “Let Your Imagination Take You Away” is our tag line.
You are invited to
participate in this exciting event scheduled for:
Saturday, September 28, 2013 from 10-4
pm.
We ask for you to join in the
fun and dress in the attire of your book’s setting! Decorate your table to make the patrons feel
as if they have stepped into your characters’ world. If you are not sure of your travel theme, we
are here to help you decide!
Before our doors open, you
are invited to a free author workshop conducted by Donna Loader, CEO of Royal
Support Services, Inc.
During the event, there will
be 20 minute author speaking presentations in our adjacent room. We will have prize raffles! We will have generous sponsors handing out
goodies to the attendees! We will have
media coverage before and during the event!
You and a guest will be
invited to attend our free cocktail reception with no-host bar at Ruby
Tuesday’s at 1212 Saxon Blvd., Orange City, Fl. 32763.
Tables cost $50 for a full 6 ft table or
$25 for a shared table.
The optional 20 minute author speaking
slots are $25.
To have your short-story,
children’s, or poetry read by one of
our invited VIP guests, we ask for a
suggested donation of $25 to be made our
organization. It would be totally
cool to have your book read by one of our guest VIPs!!
The application deadline to
attend this event is July 31, 2013. However, if space remains, we may accept some
authors who “missed the boat.”
If you cannot physically
attend the event, but still want us to promote your book by displaying your
flyers and contact information, the fee is $25
to be on our “Gone Fishin” table.
Please review the attachments
and mail the signed two page form and a copy of each book title you plan to
sell at the event to the address listed at the bottom of the application. Your payment
may be made through the mail along with the application or electronically
through PayPal.
We are looking forward to
seeing you there… with beret, and all!
Aloha, Bon Voyage, Ciao,
Sayonara, Auf Wiedersehen, May the Force Be With You,
