I’ve writing a series of blog posts on attending conventions to promote your books. The first post is up and is my personal experience from attending my first con earlier this year. I have a set of future posts planned which will be interviews with other authors about their experiences and tips. I’ll also be producing a consolidated tips list incorporating suggestions from all the posts.
You can read the first post here: https://robertbatten.net/2017/04/23/con-lessons-part-1/
As the new posts go up I’ll add to this thread. Happy to discuss any points if you have thoughts. Also — if you’ve attended a convention to promote one of your books and would like to answer some questions for the series, let me know!
