How does Smyrna Library help local authors?
Answer
Congratulations on the publication of your book. It is difficult to market and sell a book with so much competition; we applaud your efforts and wish you good luck in your endeavors.
Smyrna Library does not host book signings, book launch parties, story times, nor other promotional events for authors. We recommend you contact local book stores such as Bookmiser, the Book Exchange, Book Nook, the Book Worm, Little Shop of Stories, or Barnes & Noble. Bookstores often partner with authors on promotional events.
We also recommend attending local chapter meetings of professional author societies. These groups provide regular workshops on marketing, selling, and networking.
