Episode 196: How to Rock Your Bookstore Events

In this solo episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I’m giving you my best tips for a successful, fun, and fabulous book event! Coming off two recent book launches and a joint book event with my dad (whose debut novel, The Butterfly Tree, came out earlier this year) at Timbre Books in Ventura, CA, I have a lot to share! You’ll hear ideas around mindset and practical strategies, including: How to make it as easy as possible for bookstores to partner with you. The difference between a book signing and a book event. My favorite format for book events and how to prepare. Logistics that are important to work out with the bookstore before the event. Ideas to spread the word about the event to make it as successful as possible. A list of what to bring the day of your event. I hope these tips inspire you to get out there so readers can celebrate you and your beautiful book – in a way that allows you to soak in this special memory and truly enjoy your book event.
