It’s a great way to encourage reading by connecting readers with authors from their communities.
Fostering a relationship, or readership, between writers and readers allows brilliant things to happen.
First and most importantly, it will encourage more people to read and enjoy more books.
When readers and authors meet… they are both awed and fascinated by the experience. This personal connection motivates the reader to read (and hopefully buy) and it makes the writer want to pen more books.
This results in greater awareness of your local literary community.
It’s all about creating excitement about authors, reading, and books!
