For authors
A signed book makes an easy gift. Host a signing this season and meet readers while they shop. We start your event page for you, and it's free to list.
A table at a bookstore, cafe or gift shop on a busy shopping weekend. Personalize each copy for the person it is going to.
Share a booth at a craft fair or church bazaar. Shoppers are already there to buy gifts.
A short reading and Q&A at your local library, with signed copies for sale if the library allows it.
For children’s authors: a holiday read-aloud, then signed copies for families.
Take orders online, sign live on a video call, and mail the books. It works for readers who live far away.
Pick a date and ask a venue. Holiday weekends fill up first.
Publish your event and share the link with your newsletter and followers.
Confirm your book stock, payment method, and table setup.
Bring gift bags, a good pen, and a sign saying you personalize books.
More help: how to host a signing, how to promote it and what to bring.
Yes. Listing an event on BookGather is free, and you can keep the signing free to attend.
No. You can start your event now and add the place before you publish. If you are not sure where to host, browse local venues or read our guide to hosting a signing.
Weekends between Thanksgiving and mid-December suit gift shoppers. Leave time for shipping if you also sell online.
Most signings are free to attend, and you earn from book sales. Bring enough copies for the crowd you expect.
Free listings put your event in front of readers searching your city. If you have a new release or an event to fill, the promotion packages pin you to the top of the homepage authors section and the author directory, and we promote your signings.
