At FPA’s
Mini-Colleges and Ed-U-Conferences, we provide both beginning and
advanced publishers — as well as traditionally published authors,
aspiring book publishers and self-publishing authors — timely
information to help them create a quality, marketable product and sell
more books. Conferences are usually held for one full day, often in
conjunction with outside publishing events, such as bookseller shows,
library shows, book fairs and reading festivals.
Topics regularly featured at conferences include the
entire spectrum of publishing subjects: production, editing, copyright
and fair use, First Amendment issues, typesetting, illustration and
photography, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, promotion,
traditional sales, nontraditional sales, Internet marketing and sales,
catalog sales, print and broadcast media, legal and business issues,
and more.
Attendees win valuable publishing door prizes!
FPA member vendors are always provided an opportunity to show
their wares to attendees at all FPA educational events.
