Author Reputation Press has been participating in and engaging with international book fairs such as the Bologna Book Fair, the London Book Fair, the Miami Book Fair, and others. Now, it’s more than great news that we are expanding even more and participating in the recent Beijing International Book Fair. 

Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF) was founded in 1986, hosted by China National Publications Import and Export (Group) Co. Ltd. It has become the second-largest book fair in the world, the most influential book exhibition platform in China, and the most international book fair in Asia.

The Beijing International Book Fair attracts more than 2,600 exhibitors from more than 100 countries and regions every year. It has been committed to the copyright trade of foreign publications and digital multimedia publications, publication import and export, and reading promotion in China. BIBF has become a large-scale international publishing exchange event covering books, digital, animation, and other industries.

Author Reputation Press’ published book, written by Maria Fernandez Snitzer, was displayed at the said book fair from June 15–18, 2023. The publisher and author of the book are honored and proud to be part of this grand event for a cause.

“Storms” by Maria Fernandez Snitzer is an inspiring book that was featured in the November issue of The New York Times Book Review. The author’s book has achieved several accolades, from receiving a Hollywood movie script and movie treatment to having a website for the author’s book(s).

This masterpiece was displayed at the 2023 London Book Fair (LBF), which is the global marketplace for story creators and the industry’s essential spring chapter. Staged annually in April, LBF welcomes publishing professionals from around the world to London to learn, network, and kick off their year of business. Moreover, it’s displayed at the 2023 Bologna Book Fair, which presents the New Title Showcase on its 60th anniversary. The Bologna Children’s Book Fair is an industry-leading event that has succeeded in bringing together a unique and diverse global audience thanks to 60 years of experience. As a result, the world’s premier copyright exchange hub for publishing has emerged, which also includes current multimedia and licensing businesses for children’s stories, illustration, animation, and related areas.

“Storms” by Maria Fernandez Snitzer was highly praised by the US Review of Books, which acknowledges that “the author, a Louisiana native, writes elegantly of the literal and metaphorical storms that batter the generations in this literary family drama. The story opens as protagonist Elise Charleville Steiner dreams of the calm her maternal grandmother, Lala, always displayed, knowing that life had a way of returning to normal after any storm. As the author’s debut novel wends its circuitous path through both ordinary and emotionally fraught family scenes over the next week, a powerful hurricane sweeps across the Caribbean, with landfall predicted near Elise’s community of Bayou Chouteau. It is a study of action and reaction.”  

The book was also nominated for the 2023 Eric Hoffer Book Award, which commemorates the memory of the famous American philosopher Eric Hoffer by honoring outstanding writing and the independent spirit of small publishers. Since its foundation, Hoffer has grown to become one of the most prestigious worldwide book awards for small, academic, and independent presses.

Just this year, the author published a Spanish edition, “Tormentas.” This edition can be purchased via these links:
