My Hastings Book Signing that my publisher booked,went well. They had the table all set up, right in front by the doors. I rearranged a few things and got the art table ready. I had a craft activity to go along with my book. The kids made sharks out of envelopes. I used that to try and draw them over to the table. The kids seemed very shy though. I had two friends come along with me and my parents. My friends helped with the shark making and my parents passed out bookmarks and talked to the customers in the store about my book. It helped out a lot! My goal was to sell out of the books that Hasting purchased. We did!! So my very first signing was successful!
The following week, I had my 2nd signing in a mall food court. We set up and had two tables again. One for the craft and one for the signings. The craft table was a hit. Lots of kids came over and made the shark. But I only had 2 people buy books. My parents passed out bookmarks as well there. Hopefully, they lead to some online sells.
I will be having my 3rd signing at the Bandera Riverfest on June 25th. This will be interesting as well. There will be lots of kids there playing in the river. I am hoping they will take some time out and come look at my book. I plan on doing the craft activity there as well. It is an added cost for me, but helps me get the kids over to my table. I will also be passing out the bookmarks too. I'm hoping this will be my most successful book signing so far!
