Byward Market Authors' Market - Vendors Wanted

Did you know that authors could be promoting their book(s) to thousands of people in Ottawa for free? This year Marchés d’Ottawa Markets will be hosting The Authors’ Market, a covered outdoor space amongst Market vendors dedicated to highlighting local authors and their work. Each author gets to promote and sell their books at 4 complimentary dates per year.

We are reaching out to you to see if you are able to promote this event to your networks. We are specifically focused on having local authors (those from the Ottawa, Outaouais areas).

In 2018, efforts will be focused on the successful promotion of events through signage, Marchés d’Ottawa Markets social media, and through our networks. Our aim is to maximize the positive outcomes of this year’s Authors’ Market and highlight local authors. The event and location will be clearly identified so people know what to expect and where to find it. To maximize the impact, authors are encouraged to bring brochures, banners and anything that will attract people and make the stand eye-catching, professional, and inviting. We are also able to provide some tables, chairs, table covers and signage (see attached form). We encourage authors to promote their presence through their own networks and to inform other local authors about the program.

Authors can choose to come alone or in small groups. More authors and more books will create a fuller looking event which will attract more people – so pass this along to other authors you think might be interested. Although The Authors’ Market is available Wednesday through Sunday, spots are reserved on a first come, first served basis, and weekends tend to be the most well attended days.

For more information, or should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@ottawamarkets.com or 613-244-4410.
