How do I organise books for sale at an author visit?
At least a month before the visit, contact your local bookshop or regular supplier. If you experience any difficulty, contact Puffin DK Schools Direct on 0500 807 981. Check with the author which books they plan to talk about and order more copies of those. Let parents know that books will be available for sale. Send out a list of titles and prices (check current prices with your bookseller) so the child can bring in the right money. Alternatively, if children already have a copy of the author’s book they can bring that in for signing. Build time for bookselling and signing into your timetable for the visit.
