Author Events Forum

Our authors love visiting bookshops and working with independent booksellers, and author events remain a fantastic publicity and sales opportunity for us all. With bookshop events now returning and important learnings to consider from the rapid shift to digital events over the past 18 months, the Author Events Forum will help both booksellers and publicists – working to build relationships with bookshops new to author events or looking to reboot an existing or stalled programme.

Our Author Events Forum offers:

  • Attendance at two online Author Events Forum sessions with members of the HarperCollins publicity team
