Getting Out of Your Own Way:
How to Make Book Readings Fun
We’ve all been to a reading where it clearly didn’t go well. The author sits in a chair, nervously clutching their dog eared book, post-it notes sticking out at all angles. They mumble their way through long sections of their book, improvising disjointed exposition as they go. Discovering they’re out of time, the author closes the presentation with a couple pages of speed reading before trailing off into an uncertain ending leaving the audience wondering, Is that it? Don’t let this happen to you.
This workshop will focus on how to craft a compelling book reading and deliver it with ease. We will discuss what makes a good reading, how to eliminate surprises and set yourself up for success. Plus, you’ll learn practical tools for conquering performance anxiety. You’ve worked hard to write your book and get it published. Now it’s time to get your work into the hands of your readers.
