October 6, 2024: Gail Borden Library Annual Author Fair

I’m looking forward to my second-ever author fair on Sunday, October 6 in Elgin! I’ve never been to the Gail Borden Library, but I have to commend the organizers of the event for being super organized, helpful, and communicative! It bodes well for an awesome fair.

The Elmhurst author fair in August was a great experience. While there were few opportunities to sell my book (several authors reminded me people come to libraries to borrow, not to buy), there were numerous opportunities to chat with fellow writers! I loved getting to see their table setups and hear how they draw people in to learn more.

It wasn’t as impressive or engaging as some other tables, but I was happy with the way my setup came together. The Gail Borden Library fair will offer slightly less table space, which is perfect for us authors who only have one book.

I was also delighted to talk shop with an aspiring writer from the local university, and to chat about popular romance books with the members of a book club who were on the hunt for their next read.

And, best of all, I got to sell a book in person—and sign it!

Can’t wait to meet some new writers and readers in Elgin on October 6!
