East County Book Festival: Exhibitors Wanted

The First Annual East County Book Festival will be held on Sunday, May 10, 2010 in the public plaza outside of the Simi Valley Public Library. 

We are now seeking authors, publishers, book sellers, writer organizations and vendors who are interested in renting an exhibitor's table to promote and sell their works.   The cost is only $200 per 8-foot table, and we anticipate drawing a large crowd from the nearly 500,000 residents of eastern Ventura County as well as from the nearby Los Angeles area.  You can download an application and instructions for an exhibitor's table using the link below.
