Many authors in town will want to read at the Barnes and Noble, or the quirky indie store, and their calendars will fill up months in advance. So, hosting your own events, at a coffee shop or someone's apartment, can be worthwhile, especially at the beginning of your writing career. ]]> no@spam.com (Cristina Deptula) https://www.bookpleasures.com/websitepublisher/articles/7072/1/Planning-an-Author-Event-Part-1-Contributed-To-Bookpleasurescom-By-Cristina-Deptula/Page1.html https://www.bookpleasures.com/websitepublisher/articles/7015/1/Networking-in-Person-Where-and-How-to-Connect-With-Your-Audience-and-Colleagues-Contributed-To-Bookpleasurescom-By-Cristina-Deptula/Page1.html This isn't going to be another screed about losing personal connections because we're all online.
