Unlock the Secret Strategy Authors Are Using to Transform Local Libraries into Thriving Event Hubs
Instead, focus on what you can bring to a community of readers and/or writers.
Some ideas that have worked for me include:
- A workshop for aspiring authors as they took their first steps toward publishing
- An hour to “ask the author” anything about breaking into the industry, my genre, and the writing process. The possibilities are endless with this one.
- A three-author panel of authors who wrote in the same genre, and we talked about world-building for fantasy writers
- A three-author panel of authors writing in different genres who played games like “guess the genre,” “pick the trope,” and even “solve the mystery.”
If you offer a chance for the public to learn and/or be entertained, libraries are more willing to work with you.
