Book Description

July 13, 2007
“Carol is the perfect mix of what you look for in an event planner: she is knowledgeable, accessible, and attentive. She knows her audience as well as the resources at her command; shake (not stir) liberally with some outside-the-box thinking, and you have the makings for a near-perfect event.”—Kim and Danny Adlerman, authors of Africa Calling and How Much Wood Could a Woodchuck Chuck?

Writing a book requires technique and skill, but reaching and captivating an audience is another skill altogether—one that does not come naturally to most authors. In The Author’s Guide to Planning Book Events, award-winning author and accomplished book-event coordinator Carol Hoenig provides the know-how to show authors how to

  • Find and choose the perfect venue
  • Plan an event for optimum results
  • Build on each success to reach more readers

Hoenig has worked with hundreds of successful authors and book publicists and shares the best of her stories and theirs. She explains why nontraditional venue functions can be much more lucrative than traditional events at a local bookstore. And she provides step-by-step instructions for planning, organizing—and enjoying—publication and book-signing events. The result is a must-have resource for every author’s bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Promotion For Authors--Eyes Wide Open, August 22, 2007
By 
This review is from: The Author's Guide to Planning Book Events: Tips and Tools for Bookselling Success (Paperback)
Carol Hoenig is no stranger to the promotion of books. Having worked for one of the largest book retailers in the world and now an award-winning author, herself she speaks from experience in the world of author events.
In her newest book, The Author's Guide to Planning Book Events: Tips and Tools for Bookselling Success, she opens her vault to reveal tried, true and new techniques for putting an author's book in front of the readers who want to know and be in-the-know.
Written in an open and inviting voice, Hoenig puts the new authors'questions to rest and for the repeat authors, she offers up-to-date methods of self-promotion that will be a sell-out of every book at your event.
As an industry professional, I highly recommend every author to purchase a copy of this timely and valuable companion to self-promotion.

This review is from: The Author's Guide to Planning Book Events: Tips and Tools for Bookselling Success (Paperback)
I am a first time writer and profess to having stacks of self-publishing books.Author's Guide to Planning is unigue,and truly stands out from the rest. Hoenig "thinks outside the box" which is imperative in today's marketing. Her methods for marketing are refreshing,easy to accomplish.My whole marketing plan changed after reading this book!
Hard work on our part as a writer, has always been part of the deal,but with Hoenig's suggestions,it means real success!

This review is from: The Author's Guide to Planning Book Events: Tips and Tools for Bookselling Success (Paperback)
I was absolutely delighted with this book. It was far more practical and helpful than I expected, with advice from pre-publication right down to the nail biting book launch.
If anybody is wondering what to buy their writer friend or family member then buy them this book. They will love it and you!
