Why LongPen™?

Be Smart, Be Green, Be Anywhere

If you have an internet connection and a desire for unique and exciting signing events, the LongPen™ can help. Every author has fans - now you can bring them together with the greatest of ease. There are endless possibilities for book club events, media moments, and lecture events.

The LongPen™ is the world's first real time, pen and ink long-distance autographing device, incorporating video conferencing for sound and visual interaction.

• Have authors read and take questions from the audience on the large screen attached to the signing kiosk
• Chat one-on-one with fans while signing books or other materials from any distance
• Speak and connect in real time via video conferencing
• Conduct and record advance interviews over the system
• Record a digital video file of each author/fan interaction
• Offer fans the chance to download their personal video - great for posting on websites such MySpace and YouTube, on cell phones, and more.
• Include smaller towns and centres often left off of the book tour schedule - now all fans can meet their favourite writers

• You save money: hotels, flights, car rental, dining, and entertainment
• You save the atmosphere from harmful carbon emissions by opting not to fly

If you can think it, the LongPen™ can do it.
