Big discounts at the Random House Book Fair

Random House book fairBuy books and do good -- not a bad deal. At Saturday's Random House Book Fair, you can get a 20 percent discount on popular books, and be happy in knowing that proceeds fund scholarships at Carroll Community College. Among the tiles available are: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle ($14.95 less 20%); Team of Rivals ($21 minus the discount) and Into the Wild ($13.95 minus the discount).

The annual fair, which runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the college in Westminster, includes a silent auction and other events, too. You can meet authors including Dan Yaccarino, Leo Bretholz and Lisa Gardner, who wrote the New York Times best-seller Hide. And there are also lots of activities for kids, so you can browse in peace.

Is there an opportunity for new authors to participate in the 2010 Random House event?

As an former educator and corporate trainer, I have written a book titled "The Writer's Guide to Achieving Success: Implementing the Plan". In addition, I coach and provide seminars for writers. Any insight is appreciated.

Thank you for responding.
