You are invited to submit a Request form to express an interest in hosting a Bookworm Central onsite fair. On receipt, we contact you to evaluate your needs and expectations and review how best we may serve you. At which time, if we are a good fit for your community, we invite you to sign and submit your contract. Once this is done, you are placed on the calendar for the confirmed week.
Please note that Bookworm Central has a cap on the number of book fairs it serves in any given week so it can continually give the high caliber of service it is reputed to provide to all it partners. As repeat business percentage is extremely high, it limits the number of openings on the calendar – all new partners are therefore urged to reserve a slot by submitting their contacts in a timely manner.
