Author Event Query
Main Street Reads is a neighborhood-based independent bookstore that loves welcoming authors, book clubs, and book events. Certain kinds of events have better draw, including:

• Events with more than one author
Single author events, unless the author has a strong local connection, draw smaller audiences. We may not offer to host some single-author events, but pairing up offers the chance to bring in more people!

• Events that offer more than a reading
Authors who offer workshops, demonstrations, craft talks, or other activities are much more likely to draw an audience. Remember that people don’t come out just to hear a short reading and get a book signed. They will make time for an event that offers them something more in the community.

RESPONSE TIME: We receive many inquiries each week, and book events 2-3 months in advance. Depending on when in our cycle a request arrives, a response may take 1-3 weeks. We will respond if we feel your event is a good fit for our store.
