This Friday I will be hosting an in-person launch of my novella Not All There. Of course, in many ways I have been launching it for a little while now, sharing it with you and talking about how I wrote it. However, this in-person launch is a big deal for me as I will be meeting some of the readers I wouldn’t connect with otherwise.
Readers who don’t have social media and aren’t reading all my witty blog posts, which is why it is so essential for me to do this launch. I am both very excited to meet them. I am more trepidatious, that something will go wrong I don’t want to disappoint the people who have taken the chance to attend.
This will be the largest and most important type of event like this I have organised and I am feeling the pressure for it to go well, although rationally I am telling myself that this is just one event in a myriad of things I can do to meet my readers and share my book. I feel a responsibility to get this right, I want to pull this off, for all those, however many or few or attend on Friday.
It is my duty not just as the author of the book and as it’s advocate to make sure it meets the people who it would help and would enjoy reading it.
So despite all my worries over if anyone is going to come? and Is my name is too long for a signature? and oh my goodness! How huge is this banner?
I am still hoping to make it a good night enjoyed by all, and most importantly worthwhile for both me and my readers.
