I am a survivor.
Of a book launch
party, that is. My first.
Every author dreams
of his or her book release, but for many, the thought of a planning and
executing a launch party seems more like a nightmare. Writers are solitary
souls who generally prefer to hug the walls of social events. A party where we
are the center of attention? Just shoot me now.
But because of God’s
mercy and the help of kind friends, I am proof positive that an introverted,
inexperienced, and somewhat ignorant author can successfully pull off a book
launch party and live to tell (or write) the tale. In the next few segments of The Editor’s Desk, a No-nonsense Approach to
Non-Fiction, I’ll share the lessons I learned so you, too, can have a
successful event.
Today we’ll concentrate on how to prepare for your launch
party.
