I have set up lots of library events. The type of event that seems to work the best involves getting 5 or 6 authors together at one time. We have had between...
I would also love to have a list. Once I see the list I may be able to add some new ones to it. I do maintain some lists, mostly in the Florida area. Sylvia...
Sylvia, I think this is a fabulous idea! I think if some authors got together for a library event like this, and promised to donate a portion of the proceeds...
Hello! I wanted to take time to introduce myself. My name is Tricia Goyer, and I live in Montana. Howdy :-) My first novel, From Dust and Ashes, was just...
I have been speaking to some of the English classes at the high school where I work, and we decided to run a contest. Kids were always asking me if I had...
As you all know I'm slowly book signing my way back to Canada. I found the Hastings Stores in the north, except for Tyler, Texas not as soon as the ones in...
Hi, All. Haven't been involved in discussions much lately due to work. But we just got our first review back on THE COUNTERFEIT and I HAD to share it with you....

The stated purpose of this List is to discuss the topic of "book signings AND more general topics as related to book marketing." So your post is ENTIRELY ...
Make a short contract telling the winner he or she gets payment for one time use. It's a flat fee and, no, they don't get any royalties for books sold. I...

Hi Sylvia, Your library events sound terrific. I have some questions, in case you'd care to share more: 1. How many of these have you done? 2. Are they put on...
Hi Nancy, Congratulations on your book! We "met" on-line when I was working on my family travel book. This is a great list to share ideas on. I've done the ...

Oops. Bad idea. Really. I've been STRONGLY cautioned by some experts against emailing Bookstore Managers or even sending them snail mailings. Perhaps it...

Thanks Dorothy. I actually like the "cold calls" but wanted to contact as many as I can using the most efficient but productive means. Sandy Lawrence ...
Even if you are not going to be in the area for a signing, but you want to contact as many as possible with your book - and with a request to sell in their...
Sandy, With Independents it's a crap shoot. You go from one extreme to the other. Some are real receptive, others hang up on you. You will never get someone...
Just be real careful. I wouldn't fax them myself unless I had a personal contact with them. Here's a big hint. Stay away from New York! Whatever you do....
