Speaker: John Hope
Selling books at book
fairs and other various events can be a challenge for authors, who are
typically introspective by nature. This tutorial will provide tips on making
the most out of a book event, including how to approach readers while coming
across genuine and not a greasy salesman. Also provides advice on researching
events and finding your audience.
JOHN HOPE was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida. John earned
his BS in Computer Engineering from the University of Central Florida
(UCF) and since 1999 has developed and designed software for simulators,
websites, traveler information systems, and numerous other technical widgets.
All the while, he has quenched his creative hunger with writing a few novels,
hundreds of poems and short stories, several short plays many of which he's
acted and/or directed, puppeteered in countless skits, and built a number of toy
train layouts. To keep a steady rhythm in his life, John has run over 30,000
miles in various road and trail races and training runs through the years,
including captaining the UCF Men's Cross Country team, achieving TAAC
all conference, managing 5k races, and at times traversing entire states in
relay teams and triathlons.
John is married and the proud father of two.
