Tips
Be prepared to have fun.
Ask for help when you need it. We have the best volunteers and the best attendees. Everyone wants to help and you will gain a friend.
Do not stress about meeting every author. Leave room in your schedule for spontaneity. Enjoy the many activities that are offered outside of the signing session(s) which are also opportunities to make friends. Most of our attendees are able to meet their top five favorite authors and they usually have time to make new friends and find new authors to read too.
Understand that authors have different signing speeds. If your priority is a photo with a very popular wrist banded author, ask them to pre sign the books you have preordered, or if you are bringing books from home, contact the author beforehand if you have more than 5. Ask them if you can drop them off to be pre signed before the signing session and just pick them up and get your photo during the signing session.
