If you'll be selling books at ESWA's Holiday Book Festival on November 7, or just want to sell books in general, this session is definitely for you! Join author and ESWA Past President Kenton Kilgore as he walks you through Selling Books in Person: An Author's Guide to Winning Fans & Making Money.
Kenton will share everything he knows about how to successfully sell books at events, including many do's and don'ts learned from extensive experience. Kenton will discuss:
*What you’ll need to bring; *Pricing to make you the most money; *Setting up your display; and *His “One-Spoonful-At-A-Time” selling technique that makes sales without being pushy.
Kenton will help you overcome any shyness you might have with talking to people about your books, and he'll have a special segment on selling poetry books. Whatever type of books you write, Kenton can help you sell more of them, and develop lifelong fans. Don't miss this!
