Booking your virtual or in person author event has never been easier!

  2. Schedule your event date and time.
  3. Promote the event!  Let students and teachers know their favorite author will be stopping by to  chat! We provide you with a promotional flyer with a link to purchase books through bookpeople.com
  4. Meet your author LIVE at the school or LIVE on ZOOM!
    1. We will send an event host to your school for in-person events
    2. For virtual events, you provide the link and we’ll meet up on zoom for an awesome event!!

As always, these events are free to the school, but we do require a minimum number of books to be sold. Books are sold directly through bookpeople.com. If you want to collect payments via cash or check as well, you can accept them (payable to the school), and we will invoice you for the total after the fact.

Book Only Events

You’ve scheduled the author on your own, now all  you need is books. We’re happy to help!  Order your books through us and pick them up curbside when they arrive.  Minimum order: 20 books.
