Real Life According to Emma: Virtual Book Fairs

Virtual Book Fairs - Do they work?

In answer to my title question - I have no response, as yet. I am about to embark on the first virtual book fair that I have ever done, so in a couple of weeks I may have some sort of answer.

I would say, that it's a phenomenal amount of work... so I hope that there are positive outcomes. What have you found? Can you give any tips for getting the most out of this type of event?

As a break from my constant rabbiting on about my new book (The Love in a Hopeless Place Collection - in case you missed all the hype ;-) ), I am going to be handing over my blog to fellow scribes from around the world and across genres, for the duration of the Blogger Book Fair (BBF) from the 22nd-26th July.

The Blogger Book Fair is a bi-annual event where authors celebrate and showcase each other's work. There are book bargains/freebies/competitions and general literary fun – just like a real book fair but without the travel.

For my own contribution, I have reduced ALL my books to 99c/76p/89€ for the duration of the event. So, if you need to fill your e-reader for the holidays... now is the time!
