Publicity Speed Dating

Author event at a SIBA bookstoreOne of New Voices New Rooms' most popular non-conference events!
Conceived by NAIBA, Publicity Speed Dating gives booksellers looking to expand their event program a place to meet with publicists one-on-one to highlight all the unique events they host in their store, and share their publicity kit to "pitch" their store as a good partner for author events. It is an invaluable opportunity for booksellers and publicists to make connections and put themselves on each other's radar.
