Welcome New Book Partners!
Our booth operates as a Co-op, partnering with Alaskan Authors & Illustrators to host Alaska's Book Nook at the State Fair and gets YOUR BOOK on the shelf, making it available to 300,000 Fair customers.* Authors do not work the booth every day. Instead, the Alaska Book Nook Booth provides volunteers and staff to greet customers to help them learn more about all books in the booth. Basically, we help sell your book for you!
We welcome authors to sign up for Book Signings in the booth, which occur all day long, in 2-hour slots. Authors should be proactive on social media before and during the State Fair to promote the Book Nook booth in general, marketing your titles and those of your fellow Alaskan authors. Signings are first come, first serve with Featured Authors receiving priority scheduling and preference. Find out more about Featured Authors Here.
The Booth has limited room for on-site storage. The Title Space Initial Package provides space for up to 3 different titles with storage of 20 books per title for those 3 titles by the same author. Books will be restocked as needed by our staff from initial supplies. As we run out of books, staff will inform authors so they can resupply the booth. Authors can also select to purchase additional storage and have our staff restock your title continually during the Fair from your additional supplies stored nearby at an offsite location.
We host a Book Booth Raffle at the end of the Fair, encouraging Fair participants over the age of 18 to provide their email addresses to enter. Authors who donate to the raffle will receive a copy of the email list pursuant to our Terms of Use.
