ABOUT FIRST FICTION TOUR
Created in 2003, First Fiction
is a partnership between independent bookstores, publishers and
bar/restaurant/theaters to create a unique literary event in support
of first-time authors of fiction.
Leading independent bookstores partner with local bars and restaurants
to bring their communities together to create an event in celebration
of tour first time fiction authors. Benefits of the program include
a larger audience for readings, unique marketing and media coverage
for the tour and individual city events, and enhanced opportunities
to hand sell books in a receptive environment.
The tour, organized and promoted by Cindy Dach, travels to a minimum
of six cities. Four first time fiction authors travel to all designated
tour cities. They each read from or discusses their book, participate
in a Q & A, alongside the other participating authors, and then
sign copies of their books during a reception that follows. All
readings take place outside of the bookstores. Every venue offers
a drink special.
This is a one of kind experience for touring authors, offering them
a community, expanded media interest from first city to last.
