I had more than FORTY people show up! WOOT! ‘Twas a great two hours 🙂 I brought my book up on a computer that was hooked up to a big screen TV. People could read excerpts on the big screen or on the computer.

Half the cake was gone at the end, and 33 out of 36 cupcakes were devoured. Oh, and I passed out 30 bookmarks. All went very smoothly.

I guess my words of advice would be to have one or two friends help set up and keep things flowing, and make sure you thank the venue.

Thanks so much! I have butterflies in my stomach just thinking about a book signing and my book is not even ready for publication yet. Ha! I will definitely be reading this one over and over again in the future.

Thank you!

Fun! Kittyb78–I think a book launch party is a great way to enjoy the publication of your book, and the library is a great venue! Beth–good luck! I had cake at mine, too–and it was a BIG HIT! Gutsy living–I love the sign in book idea. Thank you! And I love your phrase, Stay Gutsy!

1). I always hold a raffle
2). I have a guest sign-in book.
3). I start with something everyone can relate to, and link it to my story.
Thanks Angela for this wonderful interview, and as I say to myself, “Stay Gutsy!”

Make it an event or book talk. I love hearing the inside scoop as to why and how a book was written. Yes, don’t read too much – and practice reading out loud in an active voice. Even the best-planned events may attract few people, or even no one, but be gracious, thank the book store owner or venue manager, and count the event as a great excuse to publicize the heck out of you and your book
