Cost of booth is $2,300 for a 10' x 10' or $1,150 for a shared booth (5' x 10'). Payment is due in full along your registration.

Frankfurt Book Fair
10/6/2010 - 10/10/2010
The Messe
Frankfurt, Germany
This is the largest international book fair in the world. IBPA has been attending this for 20+ years and has a list of more than 600 international contacts with whom we meet and attempt to license the right to publish your titles throughout the world. Books that have the most success at this show are in the health, business, psychology, self-help, relationship, esoterica or new age, religious/spiritual, parenting, inspirational, and motivational titles. Books that do not do well are cookbooks, general mainstream fiction from authors not known throughout the world, books that contain too many references to the U.S. Or U.S. Practices, too many photographs of people that are definitely identifiable as Americans, and poetry, which cannot translate into other languages. Many of our members have achieved great success through participation in this bookfair and can now boast Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Korean, German, Japanese, Dutch, Italian and French versions of their titles.

Cost for individual title: $125.00 -

DEADLINE for individual titles: August 15, 2010
