The workshop will be held from 10 a.m. to noon, April 2, at Kirkwood Community Center, 111
S. Geyer Rd, Kirkwood, Mo. Free to St. Louis Writers Guild members, $5 for
nonmembers.
Emily will discuss:
- · how bookstores select books to stock,
- · what research independently published authors should do before they visit any bookstore,
- · how to approach the owner/manager of the store in a respectful and conscientious way,
- · how to promote your book once it makes it into said bookstores, and
- · how to schedule and promote a signing with an independent bookstore.
The Halls--Emily, Ellen and Andy--took
over Main Street Books at 307 S. Main, St. Charles, in February 2014, with
Emily stepping into the role of co-owner and proprietress. She is a graduate of
Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo., and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree
in English. Before she became a bookseller, Emily worked with and trained birds
of prey at World Bird Sanctuary and was a personal assistant in the insurance
industry (though not at the same time).
