book-signing

Meet the writer

A book-signing is an event where an author meets readers and signs copies of their book, typically held at bookstores, libraries, or literary festivals.

Authors personalize copies with their signature and often a brief inscription, making the book a keepsake.

Book-signings serve as promotional events for new releases and give fans a chance to interact briefly with writers they admire.

I waited in line for an hour at the book-signing to meet my favorite novelist.
