Recenzii
If you suddenly find yourself in charge of planning an author event, or helping with one for the first time, Langemack's work provides a detailed roadmap on how to plan, organize, promote and host the event, as well as determining which author(s) to invite. Langemack thoughtfully includes a chapter on Hosting and Escorting, tips on what to do when you are waiting for the author to arrive, and what to do in case something goes wrong with your event..The appendix contains a sample event fact sheet, a sample sponsor proposal and a sample evaluation form. The chapter on additional resources is wonderfully comprehensive, containing resources for finding authors, publicity and marketing, fundraising, grant writing, and presentation skills. With Langemack's book in hand, hosting your next author event will be a snap!
Libraries sponsoring an author visit for the first time will find this guide clear and specific, whereas libraries with an established program will find Langemack's panoply of author events helpful in taking their programs to the next level.
Langemack gives practical guidance that will be useful to experienced and novice planners on how to host an author event. She covers everything, from reasons for having author visits to carrying off the really big do, with humor and experience. The text is supplemented with charts; sample event proposals, fact sheets, letters, forms, and emails; and sidebars that illustrate the good, the bad, and how good planning can keep disasters to a minimum. If you aren't a list maker, Langemack will turn you into one before she is through. The index is thorough and useful. Libraries that do such programs should add this to their professional collection and buy a copy for the circulating collection as well, since there is a chapter for the author who'd like to approach a libary about an event.
