If you’ve ever wondered how books get into brick and mortar bookstores and if there are any strategies for helping them sell, this Writing Show is for you! JRW invites three area booksellers to the stage to talk about best practices, how and why books get ordered and returned, and tips for making the bookseller/author relationship the best it can be. This panel discussion, moderated by Dr. DaNika Neblett Robinson, will feature Krystle Dandridge (founder and owner of the RVA Book Bar), Berkley McDaniel (co-owner of Shelf Life Books), and Kat Spears (librarian, former bookseller, and author).

Registration is required and closes at midnight, January 22. The Writing Show includes a social time from 6:00 pm – 6:30 pm. This portion of the evening is optional. If you choose to only attend the panel discussion, please arrive in time to find parking and be seated before the panel discussion begins at 6:30 pm.
