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?

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.
