Author Lounge: Friday, October 4​​

---

The Author Lounge is a great opportunity to expose authors with forthcoming titles to a wide array of booksellers. A central area of the trade show floor will be set up with chairs, coffee, and a series of authors signing their books throughout the day. There will be a mix of authors in the lounge, new and established, across all genres, etc., with the eclectic approach intended to draw a wide array of attendees. 
​
If publisher staff would like to help with the signing, this is very welcome, but it's not necessary. Our book room staff will assist each author's signing.

TIPS FOR AUTHORS

• Arrive a half-hour before you are schedule to sign and check in at the registration desk to receive your badges. 
• Staff will direct and/or escort you to Author Lounge on the show floor and introduce you to the staff who will assist your signing.
• Bring a business card or promotional postcard with your personal contact information. 
• Know your market. These are indie booksellers and you will endear yourself to them by supporting the indie market. If you don't already, it's necessary to include indie buy buttons on your website, and put indies first whenever you can. Here's how.​
