2014 Events:
What are you doing? Where are you going?
January is about to be history and February is on
the bubble. With snow abound in many corridors, readers tend to love this time
of year. They actually love any time of year, so long as they get to read. I
can’t blame them in any fashion.
The holidays are behind us and expenses getting paid
off, yet and still, there are literary functions you wish to attend.
For the first question, have you made plans to
attend an annual event and started paying for it? Perhaps an author cruise
featuring some of your favorite authors and some you’ve never heard of?
The second question really tells all: Where is the venue located? Do you have to
fly to attend? Hotel reservations come into play if it’s out of town. What all
will take place during the event? Readers want an experience when attending
events, not just a crowded book signing.
We as authors have to offer a level of entertainment
when putting on an event. Readers not only want to enjoy themselves, it’s a
getaway for them as well. Meeting their favorite authors, hearing them speak
and converse about a character is part of their privilege in turn for their
loyalty. Ensure you’re giving them the best moments of their life.
One event taking place on February 8, 2014 is the
premiere party for The Heart TV Series, created by Iris Bolling. She utilized
the platform from her award-winning Heart Series novels and transformed the
first book, “Once You’ve Touched The Heart” into a television show. The event will
lead into debuting on Saturday, February 15, 2014 on the CW Richmond. Readers
and guests will get to experience the cast in full character mode and enjoy what
the exclusive screening will unveil.
Readers, be sure to check your local libraries,
author’s websites and the like for forthcoming events. Many book clubs put on
venues as well throughout the year.
That’s it for now, since I have to get back to
sprucing up a few of my own works. Until later…
