[Publib] Author Book Talks

[Ann Coppola]

Hi Folks,

I just had a program at my library where a local author came in to talk about her book and sell and sign copies of it.

Not one person showed up.  This isn't the first time an author talk has bombed.

I have flyers and posters up at the library.  I have it in the local papers.  Food doesn't seem to be enough of a draw either.  (the teens hover around and scavenge but they don't stay to hear the author).

Why is it that author talks don't work?  I have another one for this Saturday.  I am dreading it...

Any thoughts?

Ann
