 Even though my book debuted mid August, my first book signing is coming up on 9/29 at a small English bookstore in Seoul. For more details, see the poster on the left. I'll post pictures here afterward.
So what does an author need to remember or do for a book signing? Since I'm still learning, these are things on my TO DO list or DON'T FORGET List. I'm very organized, and so I need to write all these things down. Maybe this list will help someone out there. Maybe you know something that SHOULD be on my list. Do let me know! 1. Don't forget to take a couple Sharpie markers. 2. Create a child-friendly craft doable for elementary that parents won't want to throw in the trash. A meaningful craftivity. Don't forget to take all supplies for the craft. 3. Decide on refreshments. First, ask the bookstore if refreshments are allowed and who provides what. 4. Decide on what to wear! I don't want to clash with my book cover. hehe 5. Know the schedule of events for the book talk/signing. 6. Recruit my own teen-aged children to help with the above craft so I can mingle with people. 7. Don't forget to take bookmarks and business cards. 8. Ask someone (hubby) to take pictures of the event. 9. Advertise event on social media. 10. Practice reading your book. 11. Think of answers to questions they might ask. 12. Prepare any decorations if needed. That's all I have for now. Those of you who have gone through this, give me your advice! 9/18/2018 10:11:20 am
Good list, Tina. Great list, Tina! And best wishes to you at your book signing. Something I would add to the list is a pad of sticky notes or other small note pad. I like to write the recipient's name down first before I put it in the book, just to make sure I heard the person correctly and I spell it right. There are sometimes other things people tell you that you might want to remember and a quick note can help you later.

Being the winner of a multi-million-dollar lottery certainly is a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts and I want to use this medium to tell you how I became the famous Powerball lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Dr. Odunga would make me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Chief Dr. Odunga at Email: [email protected] and WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top Comments are closed.
