My posts will focus primarily on interesting aspects of AALBC.com and my life in general. I'll also share my unique perspective on the web, technology and how it relates to the business of selling books.
AALBC.com is pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting at BookExpo America, the largest book trade exhibit in the world. Book Expo America (BEA) will be held at the Washington Convention Center, in Washington, DC on May 19-21, 2006 - Washington DC. AALBC.com will be located in Booth: 4945 in the African American Pavilion. For more information on BookExpo and the African-American Pavilion please visit http://events.aalbc.com/aap_bea_2006.htm
The next issue of African American Books That Click will be distributed at Book Expo America. African American Books That Click is the first and only full-color, direct-to-consumer catalog to target African American readers where they are – in places like churches, hair salons and local neighborhoods. This quarterly catalog effectively promotes African-American authors and black-interest books at the grassroots level, unlike other book advertising vehicles on the market.
Join other authors, like Salome Thomas-El, and take advantage of this annual event and to further increase your book's exposure with African American Books That Click. Deadline for payment and submission of materials for the "BEA" issue is April 16th. Visit http://events.aalbc.com/aalbc_bea_special.htm for more information.
