I sent you an email as well. Does it matter that I don't have a Facebook account?
Samantha wrote: "I sent you an email as well. Does it matter that I don't have a Facebook account?"Hi Samantha! It does not! I'll still provide information to your personal website if readers want to connect with you. Having a facebook page makes it easier- but it's not a requirement!
Ju wrote: "50 printed books, hmmmm!"Haha- no!! I'm looking for at least 50 authors to participate in a virtual book fair! The event will take place on facebook where readers can check out author pages and their books. As far as giveaways go, I'm still working out the kinks. Mailing print books out of the country is expensive, so I'll have to figure out that and work out e-book giveaways. I had only planned on doing one give away a day (so only 14 total), but I'm getting a lot of feedback of people willing to do giveaways, so we'll see. I hope that clears up some misunderstanding. I'm not just collecting books from authors!
I have emailed you also Abbie :)
Hi Abbie, just sent you an email. Thank you for the opportunity, Gisela
Hi Abbie, What is the Facebook page called? How many fans or likes do you have? I'd love to come and have a look at your promotion work. Friend me. I'm at www.facebook.com/davidvidecette
Hi Abbie! I have also sent you an email.
I will send you an email shortly Abbie
Hi Abbie,count me in, please - just emailed you. My FB author page is

Thanks!

Love the idea of a virtual book fair, and sent my email. Now for some virtual sleep.

I'm at www.facebook.com/davidvidecette"Hi David. I don't have a promotion page. I just have an author page for my own novel (a little over 200 likes) plus some other social media set-ups (a blog, twitter, tumblr, and instagram). The bookfair would be under my personal facebook page (abbie edmonds), and it will be an open event. So the more people invite their friends and family, the more people we will reach). I need a way to reach more people without paying hundreds of dollars in marketing, and I thought an event with multiple books would be the best way to go. So why not invite a bunch of other authors to join me?
Great idea, I'll send you an email in a second, Abbie.
Hi Abbie, I am very interested in this idea. I am trying to promote my children's books. As well as giveaways will you be doing reciprocal linking to author's pages? My facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/Spiderlings/ Let me know when you will be launching it and I will promote to my personal facebook and twitter contacts too. Very exciting, great idea. :-)
Great idea, I'm new at all this, but keen to get involved. My facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/Stepping-out.... Good luck.
Hi Abbie,Thanks for your reply. You wrote:

Can you give us a link to that? There are a good number of Abbie Edmonds on Facebook and I don't know which one you are.

Rather than getting people to email you - you would be better to ask them on here to connect with you directly on Facebook. Having done similar marketing in the past myself, I would suggest that you push your Facebook reach up through these posts in the run up to organising your giveaways and setting dates.
There are a good number of Abbie Edmonds on ..."I agree with Daivd, I can't seem to find the right Abbie either.
Would be a good idea for us all to connect on facebook.
All the best.

Hi David! I'm just collecting book information right now on my email. It's far easier for me to stay organized between which author has sent me information and which authors have just inquired for more information on my email. I tried it through facebook a few days days ago and it kind of crash my messenger app. Once I get all of my authors set up- I'll send a link to the event :) From the amount of author submissions I'm getting- that will probably be soon!!!
Just sent you an email. I'd be happy to participate in the Virtual Book Fair and donate eBook copies of all 3 of my novels.Thanks,
Lindsay
Hi Abbie,I've also sent you an email about my books
, and am able to donate Kindle Ebooks for The French De Cetion, as well as a couple of promotional bookmarks from the champagne collection by Moriston House.Best Regards,
Jennifer
good idea Abbie, i'm sending an email too ;)
This is a great idea unfortunately I can't participate yet as I believe it would break my kdp select as my non-fiction books are still in the 90 day period. I hope it works out well and will be looking for more in the future.

I'm showcasing people's books during the event, and if they choose to buy, they'll do so from the URL you provide (in this case, amazon). This of it as marketing and advertising!
Original post has been edited to include updated information and the event link!! Check it out now!!
Abbie,This is a great idea. I just sent you an email.
I am an author with a Historical Fantasy novel I wish to share. May I sign up for this Virtual Book Fair? I will send a formal email, Abbie. This looks exciting. Thanks in advance.
Hi Abbie! I'd love to participate . I just sent you an email. I have a book of poetry for you . Wonderful idea! Best,
Laura
This sounds fab, Abbie! I've emailed you. Paranormal and poetry, if you're allowing multiple genres.
