“How to Get Your Books into Bookstores”

with Kris Neri August 1

By Jo Ellen Krumm

Author and bookseller Kris Neri will share the best ways for authors, both traditionally published and self-published, to approach booksellers. She will also present the bookseller’s      perspective, so authors can learn to better work with bookstores and see their books in more stores. Enlightening us further, Kris will discuss what authors should and should not do in their dealings with bookstores, using real stories to demonstrate the absolute worst no-no’s in author-bookstore etiquette.

We’ll be welcoming Kris back, if only briefly, since she is a former president of our chapter. She teaches writing online for the Writers’ Program of the UCLA Extension School, and with her husband, owns The Well Red Coyote bookstore in Sedona, Arizona.

Her latest books are her Lefty Award-nominated supernatural mystery, High Crimes on the Magical Plane, and the most recent title in her Agatha, Anthony, Macavity Award-nominated Tracy Eaton mystery series, Revenge for Old Times’ Sake. Her blog, “Authors Behaving Badly” (Redroom.com), was copied by writers’ groups and publishers around the world, and remains the highest read and most commented-on blog on many lists.

FEATURED AUTHOR AVERY AAMES

Avery Aames will read from her new novel, “The Long Quiche Goodbye,” the first in her Cheese Shop Mystery series for Berkley Prime Crime. Avery Aames is the pseudonym of Daryl Wood Gerber. Daryl created the format for the popular sitcom “Out of this World” and has won awards for her screenplays. She also writes short stories and suspense novels. Both Avery and Daryl like to read, cook, garden, and do amateur photography.  Daryl has hitchhiked around Ireland by herself and has jumped out of a perfectly good airplane.
