Author visits and book signings are great ways to get book lovers into bookshops and when I spotted this article on Twitter yesterday I thought it was worth sharing with our Booksellers NZ members.
It’s a great read and a fantastic reminder of how to do things well. The story at the start was so awkward it made me want to leave an event I’d never attended.
Thanks to Janet Potter for a great guide and to Emily Perkins for sharing it.
