Things I learned from the Decatur, Book Fair

9/12/2011

0 Comments

 
This was the Second visit for Sleepytown Press to the Decatur, Book Fair. Saturday was Hot! Hot! Hot! Sunday was cooler with a little "sprinkles" of rain.

1. The Book Fair had a different feel this year. The crowd was down some from last year, but I think that also had to do with the numerous activities going on in and around Atlanta. There were not as many people coming by the booths.

2. It seemed that people were more interested in eating than purchasing books. I really think it has a lot to do with the economy, too. People are more careful where they spend their money. I understand it fully.

3. As far as I could tell, authors were not selling as many books this year. Again, the economy has a lot to do with it. Sleepytown Press has some really good authors. They have written some really good books. I would really like to see more of them sell at events like this. I believe in our authors.

4. Next year, If Sleepytown Press goes to the Book Fair, I am going to do a BIG push for the Publishing. I walked around and visited more booths this year and picked up some good ideas.
