#fridayfive 9.27.24

So today’s Friday five is 5 things I’ve learned doing booksignings.

Eat breakfast, bring lunch and water. Believe me…this is important for your sanity and health.Make a list of all the books you bring, the number of them, too. That way, at the end of the day, you can determine how many and of which one you sold and will need for the next signing.Make sure your phone/iPad/Square reader are all fully charged and bring a charger with you just in case.Brings pens. A lot of pens. Even if you are not giving them away as swag, they tend to …walk away.Bring money for change. Depending on how much you charge for your books, $1s, $5s, and $10s are the right denomination.

There are a bunch more, but that’s for next Friday!
