frequently asked questions

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL BOOK FAIR?

A virtual book fair is a website or page that is dedicated to showcasing your title so readers can buy them. it’s like a physical book fair but online. It’s a great way to get your backlist bumped as well as see a spike in buys across all titles..

WHAT DO I GET FOR MY MONEY?

The standard is a page on the website that will have your book on it with all it’s information that you provide. In an event we have a good number of signups there will be additional pages created and your title will be categorised to be easily found (this means your title will be on two pages).

It takes a lot of work to organise and to create a page for book fairs, it’s why they don’t happen so often even if it’s something we’d like to do frequently. It can take hours if not days to upload all the books in a way that’s easy to navigate.

HOW ARE YOU PROMOTING THE BOOK FAIR?

We mainly promote it via social media, in groups, on twitter and Instagram, several times throughout the book fairs run.

We also have organised to have an ad running in the LGBT Romance Deals newsletter.

We ask that the authors participating to promote in your own author groups and/or newsletter however that’s up to the author to do that.

NUMBERS PLEASE?

We are a growing website. We have only been around for 6 months and currently see about 400 visits to our site per day. We have a growing newsletter/subscription, we have 50 right now, in which gets notifications of the event via a blog post
