Authors looking to sell books and meet readers at literary festivals can get practical advice in Episode 44 of The Miami Book Hub, a video program hosted by J. Adrian Betancourt, publisher of Three Treasures Press.
Betancourt’s guests are Amy Nicole Naim, president of the South Florida Writers Association, and C.V. “Ceci” Shaw, the association’s vice president. Their conversation, part of the South Florida Writers Roundtable, centers on how writers can make the most of book fairs. The panel focuses on the Miami Book Fair and the association’s booth there, and shares personal experiences along with the advantages and challenges of these events.
The episode also looks back at recent activity, including the Authors for 305 Pink Pack initiative and a Writer Spotlight on Facundo Raganato. A segment called “The Craft” covers writing workshops and contests, and a preview titled “The Next Chapter” lists upcoming literary events.
For local writers weighing their next appearance at a festival, the episode offers a look at what participation involves. The program is available through The Miami Book Hub’s podcast, newsletter and column.
