Scholastic Book Fairs
Ideas Guidebooks

The Ideas Guidebooks were published in fall and spring to share how Book Fair Chairpeople could enhance their Book Fairs with grassroots advertising, decorations and by using ready-made programs. Kinda like a "Martha Stewart Living" for each season! My role was to concept the content, direct the writing and graphic design, and art direct the photo shoots. The Guide converted to an online version in fall 2020, with my continued direction, and content and site development. The latest online Guide is here.
