Received confirmation that I will be participating in Glen Ellyn BookFest 2012, sponsored by the Glen Ellyn Public Library on Saturday, June 23. I will have a table in the tent where I can sell copies of "The Dreamer Gambit." There will be more sales opportunities inside the library before and after the speakers--one-minute pitches to the audience--as well as a morning program about promoting your own books.
I've already put together a single-sheet summary of all my books which I can give away. Books will be deeply discounted and signed. I also need to make up signs, and I'm contemplating doing something extra. One idea was, in line with the chess theme of the "Dreamer" cover, offering Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies to passers by, maybe attached to the summary sheets.
Should be a great promotional opportunity!
