Participating in Festivals and sale focused author events offers opportunities far greater than your direct revenue from the events. As a vendor, you have an opening to expose your books to a broader audience, network with artists and industry professionals, and grow your author brand. Becoming a vendor can also be expensive to participate, time-consuming to coordinate applications and logistically challenging. The Amaryllis Author Festival Share is now offering authors the opportunity to achieve the benefits of participating as a vendor, while minimizing the time, cost, and logistical challenges.
If selected to participate in a festival as part of the “Amaryllis Author Collective”, the application process will be coordinated for you. The cost will be a fraction of the cost typically associated with a festival, and you will have essential set-up items, including a table and canopy provided on-site for you.
The festivals below are the upcoming events the Amaryllis Author Collective will be offering for Author Sign-ups. If you are interested in applying for an event, you can submit your application below.
