...: Sorry I wasn't able to attend your sinigng Saturday, but hopefully I'll be able to make to a future one.Those are all fabulous tips. There's only a few other things that come to mind:If you're having bookmarks, postcards, etc made up for the event, rather than the info on the book you're currently sinigng, if you have the information on a work you'll be releasing in the future, that's what should be on your bookmarks, etc.Be prepared for the question what's your book about? Some writers (raising my hand) get a bit tongue tied when faced with that question, especially if we're already deep into another writing project. So jot down your short elevator pitch' and glance at it from time to time. If space allows put up some signage near your table that can be read from a distance that tells folks what's going on. Something along the lines of MEET THE AUTHOR or AUTHOR BOOKSIGNINGDrawings are a good way to attract passersby to your table - but if you decide to do this, keep the following in mind:DON'T giveaway your current book (you want them to buy it). Rather find other items - if they have a tie in to your story so much the better. These don't need to be expensive, just eye-catchingSet them up as Must be present to win as this will save you the headache of tracking down the winner and will give you the splash-over benefit of the excitement generated by the happy winner.To make it feasible for entrants to stick around for the drawing, have no more than 30 minutes from start to finish.
