AUTHORS IN THE SPAWN BOOTH IN 2019

Since its inception 24 years ago, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books has grown into the premiere book event on the West Coast. Attracting more than 150,000 book lovers, the Festival of Books is the single best place to sell your books to one of America’s largest book-buying market.

Small publishers and indie author members can gain exposure by becoming part of the SPAWN booth at the Festival. Again this year, SPAWN will promote its booth with a series of press releases highlighting members who will be in the booth each day.

Unlike other groups offering an hour or day to authors, SPAWN is a full day experience.
Want to get your book(s) in front of this
150,000 book loving audience?
Come exhibit for one or both days

Two ways to exhibit. Pick the one that’s best for you.

Option One: Have a tabletop display in the SPAWN booth plus sell your book(s).

If this interests you, sign up now. Space is limited and strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. The booth fee is $285 for one day or $550 for two days, which includes participation in our booth handouts. NON-MEMBERS IS $75 HIGHER.

Option Two: Have a book on display in the SPAWN booth

If you can’t make it personally to Los Angeles, why not have a copy of your book on display in the booth? SPAWN will feature your book(s) in the booth and in the handout. Cost is $85.

Do authors sell many books at the festival?
Some members sell boxes of books.

Almost everyone makes valuable contacts that lead to future sales—sign up for gigs on radio talk shows or receive invitations for book signings or presentations, set up interviews with the press, meet educators who’d like to get authors’ children’s books into schools, find publishers for their next projects, discover distributors for specific types of books, and more. One member connected with someone who filmed a documentary based on his military book. The documentary still plays on the Military Channel.

Remember: LA = Hollywood
Movie/television producers attend the Festivalin search of new projects. Two movie studios sponsor the event.
