I had the awesome amazing opportunity this last weekend to attend an event. I love author events. I have loved them for years. Going to book signings, and writing conferences are a blast. Spring into books happens to be both of those combined. I loved every second of this event. It was so much fun creating book marks, ordering in a bunch of my books, talking to my neighboring authors, watching my brother and hubby step in to watch over my table while I taught, meeting readers and other writers. I was there for over five hours but it felt like two. I suppose book signings could be boring but I truly had a ball. Readers, we authors love to see you and authors if you are considering doing an event like this just do it! You'll be happy you did. See below for my 10 tips for a book signing event after these two fun photos!

Not only did I get to sit at a table of my own, but my class proposal was accepted. I love teaching about writing. My passion is truly in making magic with words and I wanted nothing more than to share that with others. The class I taught was called, 10 fun ways to create story ideas. I am including my handout. Not quite as good as attending the class but I still hope you find it helpful if you ever find yourself searching for story ideas. Teaching a class was fun and I am so glad that I chose to submit an idea. I hope I can teach another writing class soon!

Author events are so much fun, If you are wondering if writing conferences or book signings or combos of both are worth it, they really are. You learn so much! Meet great people, and readers too. I cannot wait for my next one!
Thanks for reading and have fun writing!
