AS THEY SAY ABOUT THE LOTTERY “YOU HAVE TO BE IN IT, TO WIN IT”

There’s a new rights fair and it’s going to be in New York City from Wednesday, May 30-Friday, June 1, 2018-the same days as BookExpoAmerica but at a different location (Metropolitan Pavilion, 18th Street in NYC). Jan Yager of Hannacroix Creek Books is organizing a co-op booth and welcomes adding your book(s) to display in that booth. No promises that you will get a rights sale but at least your book will be on display for drop-in visitors and, as appropriate, pitched in my meetings with publishers, agents, and TV/film attendees. Since this is a new show, we are all clueless about what results to expect. But with Publishers Weekly, the Combined Book Exhibit and the Bologna Children’s Book Fair behind it, it sounds like an exciting rights opportunity to try out, at least once.

Your investment:

1 book - $175 (special rate to members of APSS) ($225 is the non-member rate)

2 books- $250 (APSS special rate, $100 discount if displaying 2 books) ($350 for 2 books, non-member rate)

Additional fee to display a 1-page flyer - $69 (You will be required to supply 50 flyers; color looks better)

Special package: 1 book + 1 flyer (APSS) - $244

2 books + 1 flyer covering both books (APSS) - $319 (Please add another $50 if you need 2 flyers: $369)

To be considered for participation:

Please send an e-mail to Dr. Jan Yager at hannacroix@aol.com. Tell her about the book(s) you would like to display and whether or not you are a member of APSS. Jan will get back to you and, if your book is accepted, she’ll send you an invoice. You can pay paypal.com or by check.

To Your Success,
