Why book events are awesome (and some tips for pulling them off)!
publishingcrawl.com
Generally speaking, I’m a very introverted person. I don’t love parties. Meeting new people can be more stressful than fun. My ideal weekend consists of me, my couch, some snacks, and a great book or manuscript. So all through the pre-publication process, leading up to EVERLESS’s release, I was sure of one thing: events were going to be a challenge. Faced with talking about my book to actual readers, I’d surely freeze up or shut down. I’d have to brace myself to appear in front of a crowd, and I’d be an awkward robot while signing. Before EVERLESS’s launch party, I was so nervous that I chugged a cocktail beforehand (as the wonderful Zoraida Cordova, who was moderating, can attest).
