Book fair adds publisher’s panel, Jane Kirkpatrick
The Florence Festival of
Books (FFOB) has evolved
into more than a book fair for
authors
and
publishers.
Besides the book fair on
Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m., the festival
now has two events on Friday
at the FEC and both are open
to the public: a publisher’s
panel and keynote speaker
Jane Kirkpatrick.
Because so many visitors to
the book fair asked about how
to become published, the
FFOB has included a publish-
er’s panel from 3 to 4:30 p.m.,
Sept. 25, that will try to
answer that question. The
panelists include the follow-
ing:

selling author of 19 books.
Her company, Port Hole
Publishing, presently publish-
es nearly 30 authors. Traylor

She will speak on the
snags of publishing —
how not to fall in the
hands of so-called tra-
ditional
publishers,
what type of editing do
you need, and how to
promote your book
through
a
press
release.
