Re: Marketing Contacts for My New Book

**j*@juliebawdendavis.com**

Ellen,

Thanks so much for responding to my question about having a book table at 
the symposium.  It sounds worthwhile, and I'm going to try it next year. 
May I ask how much you paid for a table this past year?

Thanks again,

Julie

Julie,

I've had a book table at the annual symposiums for the last 4 or 5 
years and I find it enormously valuable.  It's reasonably priced and 
gives you a terrific opportunity to show your work to people.  Plus 
it's a great chance to network with possible reviewers and colleagues 
from different regions.  You should absolutely do it!
