Press Release Author = Mid-Western Christian Book Fair, Iowa City
Iowa
Press Release Summary = Organizers of the Mid-Western Christian
Book Fair in Iowa
City, Iowa on Oct 1-2, 2004 say the response they've received from
authors,
publishers and booksellers surpassed all their expectations.
Press Release Body = Because of the large number of those who have
registered for the maiden edition of the Mid-Western Christian Book
Fair, October
1-2, 2004, the venue has been moved from Rex Center Iowa City, Iowa
USA to the
nearby bigger and better Johnson County Fairgrounds.
A place that has hosted many trade shows in the past, Johnson County
Fairgrounds has
a big exhibition and packing space that can accommodate even more
exhibitors from
across the US.
"We are amazed not only by the number of authors,
publishers and booksellers who have registered for the book fair
but also by the
amount of genuine emails, mails, phone calls and fax messages we
have been getting,
" commented Paschal Eze, director of the fair.
The fact that many of the authors, publishers and
booksellers who have registered for the event are from outside the
mid-west provides
ample evidence that a Christ-focused, author-friendly and cost-effective
book fair
like this is a blazing necessity! It also shows that the event is
not just for
Christian authors, publishers and booksellers in the mid-west but
also for those
from other parts of the country.
Many organizations in the book industry have reflected it on their
websites'
calendar of events. A number of publishers have included it in their
newsletters,
and the media has been, to say the least, very helpful.
Its website,www.christian-book-fair.com, has remained on Google's
number one spot
for months, under the keyword, Christian book fair.
Major highlights of this year's edition include two panel discussions
on "The
ministry in Christian book writing" and "Christian book
marketing," keynote speech
by Ron Knott, the Texas-based Bible teacher, Christian author, oil
and real estate
magnate and retired Delta Airlines flight captain.
Others are conferment of eight Mid-Western Christian Book Fair
Awards, and
performances by talented Christian artists like Hollywood-based
Christian comedian
and movie star, Kerri Pomarolli, popular contemporary Christian
music star, Jennifer
Sergeant,
and Christian hiphop singer and producer, Joseph
Brewer widely known as Time2GetBusy.
Meanwhile, nominations are still open for the
Mid-Western Christian Book Fair Awards for which a
good number of organizations and individuals have
donated fabulous prizes like publishing contracts.
