If you have created a book of haiku, please bring some copies to sell. Any book by YOU would be fantasitc. Haiku North America does not make any money off this event. This is purely a way for HNA to support you, small publishers, and the form. You will have an opportunity to sell your books, and there isn't a lot of work you need to do. We will also gladly allow you to sell copies of rare haiku or special edition haiku by other authors if you'd like. However, putting those books as a donation in our Silent Auction would be nice too. We have a contingent of volunteers that will be running cash registers to collect and distribute money to the proper writers.
If you do not have a book to sell, swing by the Book Fair. We have designed our Book Fair to be a hub of activity and news during the conference. It will be the place to be when you're not listening to a speaker or panel discussion. We have coordinated volunteers to run the show. We have also been lucky enough to get Park Place Books in Kirkland, WA to supply us with cash registers and credit card swipers! While cash is always good, we've got the ability to take your cards, which will allow you the freedom to buy more haiku than you might plan to!
Again, our Book Fair is free to participate in- so push yourself and take that risk to bring a book of your haiku to sell! You might be surprised at how many fans you have!
