Mid-Western Christian Book Fair Exceeds Expectations

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 29, 2004 -- Organizers of the Mid-Western Christian Book Fair coming up in Iowa City, Iowa on October 1-2, 2004 say the response from authors, publishers and booksellers has surpassed their expectations.



"We are amazed not only by the number of authors, publishers and booksellers who have registered for the book fair but also by the amount of genuine emails, mails, phone calls and fax messages we have been getting, " commented Paschal Eze, director of the fair.

The fact that many of the authors, publishers and booksellers who have registered for the event are from outside the mid-west provides ample evidence that a Christ-focused, author-friendly and cost-effective book fair like this is a blazing necessity! It also shows that the event is not just for Christian authors, publishers and booksellers in the mid-west but also for those from other parts of the country.



And because of the large number of those who have registered for this maiden event, the venue has been moved from Rex Center Iowa City, Iowa USA to the nearby bigger and better Johnson County Fairgrounds.



A place that has hosted many trade shows in the past, Johnson County Fairgrounds has a big exhibition and packing space that can accommodate even more exhibitors from across the US.

Major highlights of this year's edition include two panel discussions on "The ministry in Christian book writing" and "Christian book marketing," keynote speech by Ron Knott, the Texas-based Bible teacher, Christian author, oil and real estate magnate and retired Delta Airlines flight captain.



Others are conferment of eight Mid-Western Christian Book Fair Awards, and performances by talented Christian artists like Hollywood-based Christian comedian and movie star, Kerri Pomarolli, popular contemporary Christian music star, Jennifer Sergeant, and Christian hiphop singer and producer, Joseph Brewer widely known as Time2GetBusy.



Meanwhile, nominations are still open for the Mid-Western Christian Book Fair Awards for which a good number of organizations and individuals have

donated fabulous prizes like publishing contracts.
