Book Signing at the SDSU Writers' Conference
Attention authors, here's an opportunity to promote your book to hundreds of book lovers and publishing professionals. Join us on Saturday, January 30, 6-7:30 pm for an authors signing in the Grand Ballroom of the Doubletree Hotel, Mission Valley. You can come for part or all of this time. If you already are a registered participant or faculty member, your participation is free. If you want to come just to the Author Signing and not attend the conference, your table fee is $25. Note: Those authors participating only in the signing will not be able to attend or participate in the other conference activities.
All authors should bring your own books and the SDSU bookstore will sell them for you. You will receive 60% of the cover price for every book sold. Be sure to bring fliers, cards and any other promotional materials you would like to hand out. All books must be professionally published and bound and have an ISBN number. SDSU staff reserve the right to reject any materials considered inappropriate. Bring as many titles as you like. Be sure to check in the books with the bookstore by 2 pm on Saturday, January 30.
If you are interested in participating, please send an email to Diane Dunaway Kramer, at DDKramer2@aol.com. Please include your name, phone contact, book title(s) and your book's Web site, if available. For questions, please email or contact Diane at (858) 484-8575.
