book signing
Meet the writer
A book signing is an event where an author appears at a bookstore, library, or other venue to autograph copies of their work for readers.
Authors typically read excerpts or answer questions before signing: I waited in line for an hour at the book signing.
The term also describes the act itself: The book signing lasted three hours.
