Frequently Asked Questions
Will copies of my book be sold at the book fair?
No. Book fairs are not intended for selling individual copies of books. Fairs are aimed at displaying titles to the huge numbers of attendees from around the world in an effort to establish new distribution channels and additional ways of monetizing your book.
Are there Hollywood/entertainment executives at these fairs?
Absolutely. In the never-ending quest for new content, entertainment company executives are in attendance and looking for new content to adapt into a movie or series. Almost all content you see on Netflix, AppleTV, Hulu, Amazon, Starz and the like was adapted from a book.
Will the entire booth be dedicated to my title?
No, your book and some of our other titles will be displayed side-by-side. Our representative will be familiar with your title though, in that everyone in the booth is given a report in advance regarding each title on display. Expenses for these shows, including the booth, furnishings, taxes, import duties, travel and the like can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Accordingly, the only way to make it affordable for a newly published author is to divide that cost among multiple Cloverly authors. It is a winning formula!
How far in advance must I commit to displaying my book at a fair?
Your Project Manager can supply you with a list of upcoming shows and dates. We typically need a commitment 90 days in advance in order to meet each show’s guidelines (getting the books there, listing the books in various catalogs and directories, etc.
Am I able to attend the fair?
Absolutely, that is up to you. Anyone is free to attend these shows, but please note that you will not be permitted to assist in the booth since only registered Cloverly employees and agents can do that after being cleared in advance by the fair’s organizers.
