6I: What Booksellers Want Authors to Know FULL
Tweet Share
Limited Capacity full
It’s happened to every author at some time: The bookstore event with the stack of your books and one person in the audience. There are no guaranteed formulas, but there are sound ways to build relationships with bookstores and to help them help you. We’ll discuss tips to increase your audience and partner with your local indie—and any bookstore where you’re having an event—to up your odds of success.

And what about once you’re there? An understanding of author expectations before, during, and after an appearance will give you the confidence to shine.

Beyond events, booksellers are an author’s front-line sales team. They know their customers and hand-sell books they love. We’ll chat about ways to connect with, and support, indie bookstores at any stage of your publishing journey.
