Increase your chances to be on the shelf and behind the podium at your favorite bookstores!

How do stores select which books they’ll carry? How do events work? What about consignment sales? Join Gold Leaf Literary and our friends from Malaprop’s, Bookmarks, and M. Judson for a discussion about what makes booksellers happy and cringey when it comes to taking on local author’s books and doing events. We’ll share tips and best practices for setting up bookstore events and helping your books find their way on (and off!) the shelves, plus what to do (and not do) at your event.

The cost for this session is $10 and we’ll be donating half of all proceeds to UNICEF to help children in Ukraine, Syria, and elsewhere whose lives are endangered and disrupted by war. (If you find yourself on this page and haven't registered or paid, please do so here before class starts.)
