I recently attended YALC and it got me thinking about what my dream book event would be.
There would be...
- a place where bloggers can meet up and exchange tips.
- an area/panel where bloggers would be able to learn how to make their blogs inviting, user friendly and how to best promote them.
- an area where bloggers can connect with publicists and tell them about their blogs, potentially leading to the blogger getting ARCs or having their names put down for future events.
- an area where you can meet blog tour organisers and sign up to their events.
There would be...
- a craft area where readers would be able to fangirl over their favourite books by making anything they wanted.
- a sofa area where readers would be able to sit down and talk to their favourite authors.
- stalls with book swag and book-related products to buy.
- an area where you can sign up to beta read books for authors.
There would be...
- a wall where writers that are looking for representation can post a chapter of their novel that agents will later read through.
- a talk/workshop where publishers talk about the process covers undergo when they're designed. Also what publishers look for in a book.
I'm probably going to think of a lot more things to add to this post once it's posted but for now those are all I can think off :)
What would your dream book event be like?
I'm giving away some of the swag I got from YALC!
Open internationally!
