Greetings,
I hope this topic is allowed here. My children's book is due to be published in the fall and I've been thinking of hosting a launch party. So far I've researched that many author's order posters of their book to give away, bookmarks and serve food (snacks, juice) and do a reading or excerpt of their book. I hope to have it at a community bookstore in a central location and since my book is about a special candy I will also have that as a snack item.
Did you have a launch party and where was it held? If you are traditionally published did your publisher help with the loctation and cost? How much did you spend out of pocket? Did you have a guest speaker or MC to serve as your intro?
All information/advice is appreciated.
