Tucson Festival of Books - Five Star Co-op









If there ever was a place to “see and be seen” for authors…. it is the Tucson Festival of Books.
This is Arizona’s largest literary event – and one of the top five book festivals in the nation. The fourth annual Festival will be held the weekend of March 10-11, 2012.
Covering nine acres on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson, the Festival will feature 450 internationally acclaimed authors, book discussions, workshops for aspiringauthors, literary activities for the entire family, and great local food. Attendance and parking for the public are both free!
Last year’s Festival drew an estimated 100,000 readers and proved to be a very productive weekend for Five Star Publications and our participating authors.
Five Star Publications will be participating and we invite you to join us.
Due to the success we experienced last year, we are considering expanding to two booths. But we must know how many authors will be participating before we can commit.
Each booth is a 10' x 10' covered exhibit space with vinyl sides and back walls, and one 6” table. :
Here are the co-op options for your consideration:
  • If you would like to attend, you can reserve one half of a table, for both days of the Festival for $350.00. Fee includes a Five Star staff person to handle sales and set up for both days. You and your titles will be included in all press releases and promotion.
  • If you would to attend for one day, you can reserve one half of a table for one day for $200. Fee includes a Five Star staff person to handle sales and set up for the day. You and your titles will be included in all press releases and promotion.
  • If you are unable to attend and would like to have your books on display and sold, and be part of our publicity campaign, there is a co-op fee of $149.00 for the first title and $99 for each additional title.
Please let me know by October 24, 2011 if you would like to participate. Booth locations are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis and we want to be sure to have a great location.
Your payment is due at time you commit to having a space.
You are welcome to have your own booth at the Festival. You will need to contact the folks who are sponsoring the festival exhibitors@tucsonfestivalofbooks.org and pay the fee directly.
