author readings
Writers meet audiences
Author readings are public events where writers read aloud from their own work, typically at bookstores, libraries, or literary festivals.
The reading usually features excerpts from a new or forthcoming book, often followed by discussion and signing.
The bookstore hosts author readings every Thursday evening.
