The 2013 Tucson Festival of Books was a giant event held on the University of Arizona campus (during Spring Break).
More than 300 presentation, panel discussions, and 275 exhibitors delighted the crowds. The fourth largest event like this in the U.S., authors included Jodi Picoult, Maggie Stiefvater, Nevada Barr, J.A. Jance. James Rollins, Diana Gabaldon, R.L. Stine, some others, and me.
Despite the cold rainy Saturday (cold for Tucson), 120,000 people attended enjoyed the programs, food and fun. I presented my Relaxing the Writer workshop in a warm dry room.
Sunday was perfect with something for everyone. I especially loved spending the day in the energetic Arizona Dreamin' booth managed by the amazing Kris Tualla and Morgan Kearns!
Thank you for letting me know about this, Amber Polo. Next year let me know about the Tucson Book Fair about a month before the fair (or more!) and I'll run it in my SharingwithWriters newsletter under the opportunities sections. AND submit one of these pictures in the body of the e-mail you send so I have something great to illustrate with it. Glad it was so successful!

Excited about how much the new edition of the Frugal Book Promoter (expanded! updated!) can help writers with the tried and true and the new media, too. Now a USA Book News award-winner in its own right (www.budurl.com/FrugalBkPromo) it the original edition was also a Reader Views winner and an Irwin Award winner.
