Booth: Find Book-Selling Events The Intelligence Layer for Indie Authors Stop flying blind. Start selling more books. As an indie author, the hardest part of the business isn’t just writing the book—it’s finding where to sell it. For too long, the 4 million+ self-published authors in the U.S. have relied on scattered Facebook groups, word-of-mouth, and hours of manual Googling to find vending opportunities Too often, authors pay high table fees and drive for hours only to realize the event isn’t a fit for their genre Booth is the solution. It is the first mobile-native platform purpose-built to provide indie authors with AI-powered discovery, community-driven financial data, and real-time ROI intelligence FIND YOUR NEXT PROFITABLE EVENT Booth uses six parallel AI agents that search the web in real-time to find curated opportunities near you Search by city, state, and a radius of 10 to 100 miles to discover events in six high-value categories Libraries: Readings and local author events Expos: High-value book fairs and author festivals Comic-Cons: Pop culture events with high genre-fiction overlap Outdoor Fairs: Large-scale community festivals Bookstores & Cafes: Targeted local signings Flea & Farmers Markets: Budget-friendly venues with consistent foot traffic THE “SHOULD I GO?” AI EVALUATOR: Stop guessing if an event is worth the investment. Our AI Event Evaluator allows you to input the vendor fee, your sales goals, and expected hours. Within seconds, you receive a plain-English recommendation on whether the event is a sound financial move for your business A “YELP” FOR AUTHOR EVENTS: Access a proprietary database of community reviews that you won't find anywhere else Authors rate events on six critical dimensions Profitability: Actual revenue and books sold Audience Fit: Does the crowd match your specific genre?
