Launching your book in another country?
Hello!
I live in London but am planning to do a mini launch of my book in America. I have friends and family who can sort out dates and venue for me but wanted to know a bit about the reading culture in the States? Do people frequent cafes to read? Do universities hold writer reading events on campus? What is the best way to reach and target people there?
Help!
Thanks.
Nissi.

Because, I read your book, I think the best way to market a mini launch is linking up with a particular university and pairing it with a social media blitz.
Let me know what you think.
