Note from Carolyn:

Dear Subscribers and Authors' Coalition Members:

This may be a first for a fair booth anywhere!

Authors' Coalition is proud that we can offer an additional opportunity to authors who sign at our booth at the LA Times/UCLA Festival of Books on either April 26 or 27. At no extra c h a r g e, Rey Ybarra of Best Selling Author Online TV will include the booth participants in promotion videos that will be available for their use on their own blogs, websites, etc. These videos will be filmed at 4 pm both days of the fair.

Further, he is offering any author the special price of $99. for a three minute video of their own. Services of this kind can easily run into hundreds, even thousands, of dollars. Filming will be done in the booth with those huge, professional cameras and should draw interested crowds as well.

Feel free to contact me at hojonews@aol.com or Rey at rybarra106@aol.com See a sample of his work on my blog Sharing with Writers blog, www.sharingwithwriters.blogspot.com.

Those of you participating in other programs, like the catalog program, may even change your minds and try to make it to Los Angeles for this!

Those of you who were fighting the temptation to come to LA and take in our sun, the beautiful UCLA campus and the fantastic seminars always offered by the fair may now decide to do something great for yourselves.

Those of you who live in the area can choose to do a signing or sign up for the special offer. Do keep in mind that we limit signing spaces and there are only a few left. See the media release below for more information.
