         How to Become an Exhibitor

Participation at the Home School Book Fair is BY INVITATION ONLY. There is usually a waiting list to get in. Invitations are emailed to the previous year's exhibitors in September. After they have had a chance to respond, invitations are emailed in December to new exhibitors on the waiting list who have gone through the evaluation process.

The price of a 10' x 10' booth space starts at $375. This price includes an 8' back drape, two 3' side drapes, one 8' draped table, two chairs, and one ID sign. It also includes a FREE listing of the exhibitor organization in the official Book Fair Program and on this website with a link to the exhibitor's website which remains posted for the rest of the year. (See Exhibitors.) Payment must be made in full at the time the booth reservation is made.

We also distribute vendor bags to all families who attend. These bags contain the promotional literature of organizations who provide products or services to the home school community. It is not necessary to be an exhibitor at the Home School Book Fair to participate in this service.

What we look for in an exhibitor

We look for exhibitors with unique products for Christian home schoolers that fill a need currently not being met. We tend to favor exhibitors who publish and market their own products.

What we are NOT looking for
  • tutorial services
  • local umbrella schools
  • single-book author/publishers
  • home sales companies such as Amway, Avon, etc.
  • vitamin and health food companies
  • general retail bookstores or teacher supply stores
  • start-up companies whose products have not been used by home schoolers yet
  • general distributors of educational materials (we have several already)
To apply for an exhibitor invitation, please send us
  • a copy of your product catalog
  • or a detailed price list
  • samples of your most popular products
  • a cover letter explaining:
    • your mission statement
    • how long you have been in business
    • your goals for ministering to home school families

  • Please note that we rarely have space to consider materials received after November 10th. Please do not send any materials after November 10th unless specifically requested to do so.
  • Please DO NOT SEND your materials during the months of JUNE, JULY or AUGUST as our staff takes those months off.
