Good morning.
I have one novel completed and on the cusp of the completion of a second. I thought i had found a book sale in which to participate, however, it seems more like a day of workshops and lectures. On the brink of a new year, I would like to make movement toward selling copies of the completed one and approach an audience for the second one as I finish and revise.
Question to all, but especially those on the east coast: Anyone know of author events where I can set up a booth with my book and some ancillary materials to get out to the public? I know there is a big one at the Javits in New York, but i think that's more publishers marketing to book stores. I will look into that more. But, I'm really looking for smaller literary events with an impact that is more direct and personal.
I've been googling my fingers off. I'm really looking for personal recommendations or experiences if anyone is willing to share.
Thank you so much!

Yes, definitely. My local library sponsored a lot of local author events, and it is always worth a trip to the reference desk to prod the mind of the librarian. They always know author events and resources. Good luck!
@Lillyfield41 good luck, and keep us posted !

I don't know your genre, but there is often an "Author's Alley" at comic cons, fan expos and related events. Also, I frequently see sself-published writers with their wares at farmer's markets and craft shows.

thank you. i'm gonna say i'm spec fiction. it's not true sci fi and certainly not comicon worthy. but farmers markets and craft fairs sounds good. i also remembered a big fair in baltimore in the fall and one in a neighboring county with three venues with one sign up. i think i have a plan for 2019. thanks again!!
@Lillyfield41 Good luck.
@pixiedust thank you!
