Book Signing Tip - Stand up!

Sit as little as possible at your book signing. It’s funny that after we go to all this work writing a book, promoting it and then we think a book event is a good time to sit down and rest. You can rest later!

Walk around and talk with people. Stack up your books on a pile on the table so that you can sign the top one comfortably. Then you will save your neck while talking to people one-on-one too!

Smile and offer them something they can’t turn down… like a flyer with an excerpt of your book on it… as well as a piece of chocolate taped to the corner! Who could resist that?

Comment by Lisa Copen on December 13, 2007 at 11:07pm: John, you are my hero! And there is no better prize on the face of this earth than you're book! In fact, I will recruit you later to autograph it for the winners if you don't mind.

I've learned a lot over the years, some trial and errors, but a lot of wins ---because of your resources and teaching me to think outside the box.

I'm trying to avoid reading your book so as not to "copy" your ideas or advice, but I figured I could definately give your book dozens of plugs this way! Plus, I'll be contacting the "experts" like yourself to add some articles/tips/info too!

love ya!
