If you are a member of SCBWI, have a children's book you’ve authored or illustrated, and will be attending the Fall Conference October 2, 2004, you may have your book(s) included in the member book sale. Due to the popularity of this offering, the book table cannot accept books that have not been pre-registered by Friday, September 24, 2004.
It's easy to pre-register for the Book Sale!
SEND a pre-registration request to our Book Sales Coordinator, Carrie Seidel, either via e-mail or snail mail. Note Member Book Sale in the Subject line of your e-mail or in the body of your postcard or letter.
Include the following information:
- Full name
- Mailing address
- Phone number and/or e-mail address in case we have any questions. If Carrie does not have all of your information, she will be unable to process your pre-registration request.
- List of the books you will be bringing to the conference, noting the following information:
- Book Title
- Hardback or Paperback
- Retail price
- Number of copies of each title
|
| Please note that, because of space constraints, each author is limited to five titles. Hardback and paperback copies of the same title count as one. However, please list the information for hardback and paperback titles separately. Limit copies to five per book; if you have a hardback and paperback of the same title, you may bring up to five copies of the hardback and five of the paperback. |

Don’t Keep Your Books On Hand?
As a courtesy to authors who do not keep quantities of their titles on hand, Shirley Sternola of Bo Peep Books has offered to purchase books and bring them to the conference. Please note that Shirley is only able to obtain books that are readily available, not out of print, POD (Print on Demand), or self-published books.
You must call her at 303-989-8127 with your request no later than Monday, September 20 to ensure the books arrive on time. |
Once you have pre-registered following the procedure above, please follow these steps:
- BRING (1) all copies of your books, and (2) an 8 x10 photograph of yourself in a stand (if available). (The photograph will make it easier for buyers to find you for autographs.) Please bring these items to the conference no later than 7:45 AM on October 2. Staffers will be there as early as 7:00 AM to check in your books.
- CHECK IN your books with RMC-SCBWI at the book table. Book table staff will count the copies with you before displaying them and ask you to initial the count to confirm. RMC-SCBWI Book staffers will arrange the books according to space available. Please don't rearrange your books once they have been set up.
- RECONCILE BOOKS. At the end of the conference, the books will be recounted and authors and illustrators will receive a copy of the Book Intake Form for their records. Authors and illustrators are responsible for taking any unsold books with them. Those that are not picked up will be donated to libraries or local charities. Shirley will reconcile and return any books she has purchased for authors.
- RECEIVE PAYMENT. If your sales are small, you may receive payment in cash at the end of the day. More than likely, you will receive payment a few weeks after the event. Once the sales have been completely tallied, our treasurer or Bo Peep Books will send you a check for the total amount due minus Bo Peep Books fees. Note: Books purchased by Bo Peep books and sold at the conference will be reflected on authors’ or illustrators’ royalty statements, and authors/illustrators will not receive payment for these sales from RMC-SCBWI or Bo Peep Books.
