Book stickers – Just like with t-shirts, book stickers are one way to increase your author brand awareness and spark a conversation with fans and potential readers.
Posters – Posters make perfect giveaways at book events and book reading sessions. They look great when hung in libraries and bookstores. Just like with your t-shirt and sticker ideas,seek the help of a graphic designer to create the best poster for you.
Book reading sessions – A book reading session should always complement your book launch or any other promotional event for your book. A book reading session lasts for a few minutes and usually takes place in a café, bookstore, or library. Make sure to arrange a session with your event host or organizer.
