Book Fairs and the Advantages of Visiting them

Posted by Frances Spiegel Apr 23, 2009

The London Book Fair took place at Earls Court, London, earlier this week. The exhibition is massive, filling both exhibition halls at Earl's Court.

This annual event is attended by almost every British publisher and book producer as well as many from around the world.

The Fair is an excellent networking opportunity for writers wishing to meet publishers in every field from paper book producers to e-book and print-on-demand publishers.

It's also a good opportunity to see what type of books publishers are publishing.

There are several good Book Fairs around the world including:

Antiquarian Book Fair – 4th-6th June 2009, Olympia, London

Hong Kong Book Fair 2009 – 22nd-28th July 2009,

The Frankfurt Book Fair 2009 – 14th-18th October 2009

Beijing International Book Fair 2009 – 3rd-7th September 2009

Details of all these, and many more, can be found at The Publishers Association.
