book readings
Literary public performances
Book readings are events where an author reads aloud from their work, typically at bookstores, libraries, or literary festivals.
These gatherings usually include discussion and audience questions, serving as both promotion and connection between writers and readers: She did a book reading at the local indie bookstore for her new novel.
The term also covers readings of others' published work, as in educational or religious settings.
