Become a Sponsor

Thank you for considering sponsoring the SHARPIES, our global book history festival. The purpose of the global festival is to provide a platform for recent awardees of SHARP’s prizes, grants, and fellowships to share their cutting-edge book historical research with a highly invested and interested specialist audience of academics, curators, librarians, booksellers, book collectors, and general bibliophiles. We are excited to be able to offer a wide-range of benefits that will help our audience get to know you and your own bookish endeavors.

Paperback Tier ($200) sponsors will receive the following benefits:

  • Sponsor name and logo featured in conference materials
  • Opportunity to sponsor specific events from our program (these opportunities are limited)
  • A virtual booth in the Zoom Events Expo with:
    • Spaces for two booth hosts
    • One sponsor video
    • Up to 5 sponsor images
    • Up to 5 downloadable PDFs

Hardcover Tier ($300) sponsors will receive all the benefits of the Paperback Tier in addition being able to participate in our Publisher’s Roundtable, to be held on Thursday, July 9th from 20:30–21:30 UTC. The roundtable will afford publishers the opportunity to present their lists and enter into conversation with the audience.
