Judy Wheeler and Bob Ditter
of Towne Center Books

| Judy
and Bob have over 28 years experience as independent booksellers.
Judy reveals the story behind the children's book selection at her
successful store - what she buys and why. Bob reveals the selling process from a sales rep's point of view - which books does he push and how. |

Don't have a published book yet? No worries, this
is a fun presentation aimed at anyone interested in the world of
children's book selling and promotion.
|
| Judy will share
the specific things she looks for in a children's book, the role sales,
marketing, and trends play in promotion, and the types of promotions
she finds most effective. Bob will share the factors that go into selling a children's book to the independent book market. He works as a freelance rep with Candlewick Press, Kids Can Press, Usborne, Children's Book Press/Franklin Watts, and Sleeping Bear Press. He'll cover what's selling now and why, and how the book rep industry has changed with the current economic downturn. |
