The Small Publishers Marketing Conference promises to teach authors and publishers how to increase book sales, generate greater profitability, and boost their professional standing. SPAN's (Small Publishers Association of North America) Ninth Annual Conference is designed to provide attendees a year's worth of marketing, promotional, and operational concepts in three days.

Held at the Marriott Philadelphia Renaissance Hotel Airport, October 22--24, the conference will be filled with intensive sessions to get publishers' promotional activities focused, well planned, and aimed for success.

Issues vital to authors and small publishers will include:

  • Developing a dynamic marketing strategy that will sell more books
  • Mastering publicity secrets to increase your exposure and get you "on the air"
  • Creating compelling titles and exciting book covers
  • Demystifying both "Print on Demand" and traditional book manufacturers
  • Generating partnerships with booksellers and publishers

    With nationwide book marketing experts leading the sessions, the goal of the conference is to have every participant go home with new or updated marketing plans. The conference will provide personalized hands-on solutions to address your specific needs, problems, and goals.
