How it works: SIBA promotes Reader Meet Writer events to participating bookstores. These stores invite their customers and handle all ticket and book sales. Stores promote on their social media platforms, and SIBA promotes on authorsroundthesouth.com and in our weekly newsletter to consumers, circulation 60k. 

Our Reader Meet Writer series is now hosted by NYT-bestselling author, Wiley Cash, the recipient of the 2020 Conroy Legacy Award, and beloved by SIBA booksellers.  Wiley is a passionate supporter of independent bookstores, and a charismatic presenter, a winning combination for Reader Meet Writer and our guest authors.
