As authors, we all want readers to discover our books, but finding or building your audience takes effort. Most of us launch advertising campaigns or post on social media. Trade shows, such as comic-cons, sci-fi conventions, or book festivals, offer another venue to sell your books. You can meet customers and fellow creators, all while enjoying an event's unique atmosphere. This talk will teach you how to sell at trade shows. What do you need? What pitfalls should you beware? What can you expect, and how can you find good shows?
