Episode 164: 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.
