Another panel from Dan Wickett, this time questions for independent bookstores: Nicki Leone of Bristol Books in Wilmington, NC, Neil Strandberg of Tattered Cover in Denver, CO, and RoseMarie London of Chickering Bookstore in Laramie, WY. Good questions and good answers.
For some reason I love Nikki’s comment about readings:
“We do, and it is a struggle to get attendance on some of them. I have taken to promoting author appearances as “programs” instead of “readings” because it makes the event seem more unique.”
Strangely I would not be surprised to hear that did increase attendance. Sometimes people just have notions about event names that one can’t fathom.
