I have
been accepted to the 7th Annual NW Book Festival, July 25th
in downtown Portland at Pioneer Courthouse Square. Last year they had over
3,500 people attend with over seventy independent authors. I am excited to be involved is such a large event. It will be my
first as a published author.
So how
does one go about preparing for such an event? How do you make the most out of
the contacts you will have an opportunity to make at a festival like this? How
many books should you bring? (My books are print-on-demand, so books that are
bought are out-of-pocket expense for me.) How will I get readers to come to my
booth and, better yet, buy from my booth? So many questions that luckily, I
have the background to answer because I have a history that includes
‘marketing.’
