Florida Association for Media in Education (FAME)

The FAME Annual Report is now available!  Click to Download the 2011 FAME Annual Report.  

“FAME is an excellent display opportunity for publishers of children’s and young adult products,” says show manager and FPA’s Vice President, Kyle Miller. “Over 1,100 FAME members are expected to attend. These professionals are dedicated to the improvement of education through the effective use of books, eBooks, media, technology and learning resources — elementary through post-secondary. These are the school librarians, kindergarten through college. 

The FPA booth at FAME will feature a great selection of books (always face out) and other products (digital media, videos, audio tapes, and sidelines such as plush toys, apparel and other logo or character items), drawings for a door prize, and free giveaways, as recommended by FAME organizers. 

To have your books, products, or catalog shown in the FPA booth at FAME, simply follow the directions below and supply your materials in a timely manner. Please don’t wait until the last minute, and don’t depend on delivery services to make your deadlines overnight — many have been disappointed in the past when their carrier missed the delivery. 

More information can be found at the Florida Association for Media in Education for those who would like to reserve their own booth. 

 What to Send (Print this checklist to insert with the submission package.) 

— One (1) sample of each product (book, etc.) to be shown (bound galleys are acceptable if your book will not be ready by the show date, but please include cover mock-ups when possible). With no exceptions, samples will NOT be returned. 

— A completed Product Information Sheet (attached) for each product (book, etc.). This information is kept in a binder for the display workers to show attendees. 

— 150 FLAT (NOT folded) flyers done on a full page, 8.5-by-11-inch layout. Kyle will collate all flyers into informative packets. The attendees will be able to pay particular attention to your flyers at home and in their schools. Please review the sales flyer checklist found on page 3 of this PDF. Remember, you can use both sides of the flyer. 

— Any giveaways you’d like to send (bookmarks, pins, stamps, stickers, posters, sideline items, etc.)

The cost to current FPA members is $50 per title; the cost to nonmembers is $65 per title (make your check or money order payable to FPA). Or at PayPal via our email address FPAbooks@gmail.com.
