Nobody wants their book signed wrong, and some people might be too nervous to correct an author whose work they love. >_<Mason T.

They had all their cards etc. next to a dish of candy. One trick I learned was how to ask the "fan" to leave when a line was forming behind them and you needed to get to the next person. Push the candy toward them, say thank you so much. Please have a candy. It worked for some stars.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3114381326555172655.post-19611393269907724602014-07-29T09:34:21.856-04:002014-07-29T09:34:21.856-04:00First of all, the changes at NA Ally sound good! A...First of all, the changes at NA Ally sound good! As far as signing, I've done a few. I signed at BEA this year in two different booths. One tip to help connect with your readers is to ask about them. Nothing too complex or that would require a longwinded answer, but something that lets them know you are interested in the lives of you readers and potential readers. And get biz cards of librarians, teachers, bookstore owners and the like! Have fun.Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3114381326555172655.post-54588154672648297972014-07-29T05:53:07.305-04:002014-07-29T05:53:07.305-04:00Cute pup!
