FYI: Almost all book fairs, festivals and
conventions are booked a year ahead. Most writing
contests that say 2017 will actually announce winners in spring of 2017.
Most contests are money making projects for
the sponsoring organization.
There are
entry fees. Still if you want to have your writing evaluated by a panel, you
might want to enter. BEWARE and do your homework
first. Most of the judges are fellow writers just like we are. They self publish
in literary magazines or Createspace but want you to believe they have an
inside track to getting you a big name authors’ contract. If it sounds too
good, it probably is.
It is almost impossible to get space in a big name draw like
the one below, but it is possible. The problem you will find, once you are IN, is that the festival does have big name authors such as Janet
Evanovich or James Patterson.... but
guess who all the people come to meet...and guess where your table will be in
relationship to theirs.
Duh, you are bright so you know where you stand.

Hi,
I want to pass on some
marketing information to your group in the hope it will help
someone.
Recently I have been
attending the North Port Farmers Market. Jerry Presseller, the manager of the
market will allow authors to set up a table for only $25.00. The stipulations
for that wonderful $25.00 price: Four foot space and no tent. The author can
bring two chairs. The author supplies his own table
I have attended twice, and
I love the market, because the location is
shady. if you want to use a tent, you'll be on the grass under the
trees. There are picnic benches and entertainment for the consumers.
Location: In front of
North Port City Hall from 9:00 to 2:00 on Fridays until April.
Contact Jerry Presseller at
941-391-4856
You
must contact Jerry before showing up. There's paperwork to
sign.
