Like many authors and illustrators, I attend various author events in hopes of meeting my readers and selling a few books (and maybe a poster or 2 of my artwork).
It’s always a challenge to find a way to engage the attendees without scaring them away by being too aggressive. When someone stops by my table, I try to be friendly, and (gulp) suggest they look at one of my books.
I often wonder if there are better ways to attract people to stop and chat, and then buy my books, posters, illustration pendants, etc. I came across an interesting post from DerpyGurl which has some great tips for authors. Don’t be put off by the title if you’re not attending Comic Con or writing science-fiction and fantasy – this article is very informative for all authors.
Enjoy!
