When author Naomi Brett Rourke attends in-person events, she doesn&rsquo;t try to sell herself. Instead, she has casual conversations with others about what they like to read and their interests, which can flow into a conversation about her books. Genre-specific conferences are an effective way to build a readership as well. Attendees are there for a specific reason and may be more receptive to a book if they are already a fan of the genre. For example, Rourke found great success from sitting on a panel at Comic-Con.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-27/HowInPersonEventsHelpAuthorsBuildaReadership.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../HowInPersonEventsHelpAuthorsBuildaReadership.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
