to the general public. The next Book Expo America will attract more than 30,000 people in late May. If you have a number of books, you may wish to rent booth space. Space is expensive but half-booth space may be available through the Publishers Marketing Association, e-mail: info@pma-online.org. They buy a block of booths for subletting to their members (membership is $109/year). If you have one or two books, it is far more cost effective ($70.00 each) to place your book(s) in the PMA General Display. Book Expo America provides an opportunity to show your books, work the floor and to learn an incredible amount about the publishing industry. The PMA is also hosts a two-day seminar prior to the book fair. Ask PMA about the Publishing University. Very soon we shall be able to do book fairs across Africa. It is time to move in the realm of promoting your own books that have been inside you on the world map.
