#14 The 2022 Debuts meet the 2023 Debuts - live webinar Part 1
12/07/22 • 63 min
This weekend, I invited eight amazing authors who had all debuted in 2022 to join me in presenting a free webinar to a gathering of 2023 Debuts. As you’ll hear, I had helped the 22s with a webinar this time last year, and so we reconvened to share what had gone well in their debut year, and which of the strategies and tips they’d learned from me a year before were still things they’d recommend.
This is Part 1 - and Part 2 will be posted on Friday. In this episode the following authors shared their debut year experiences and their top tips for a great book launch:
11:45 - Becky Dean - Love & Other Great Expectations20:30 - Betty Yee - Gold Mountain29:40 - Sathya Achia - In My Hands38:53 - Lisa Stringfellow - A Comb of Wishes52:40 - Anita Jari Kharbanda - Lioness of PunjabIn part 2, we'll hear from Serena Straus, Laurel Goodluck and Brynn Barineau, and I will explain my plans for Authors & Audiences over the next few months, and announce registration for my Book Launch Briefing course, as well as a Q&A session the response to questions from the 2023s.

#12 Cathy Berner from Blue Willow Bookshop shares the lowdown on book launches
Cathy Berner qualified as a school librarian up in the frozen north, but very quickly found her way to Texas, where she's been a bookseller at Blue Willow Bookshop in Houston for the last 18 years. She's Children/Teen Coordinator and the Event Coordinator, and is the curator of three book festivals in Texas: the Bookworm Festival for picture book readers, TweensRead for middle grade readers, and Teen Book Con for YA readers.
In this episode, Cathy talks with Caroline about book launches from a bookseller's perspective, about what to do to help a bookseller (and as importantly, what NOT to do!) and she also shares the science behind her highly efficient signing lines.
You can follow Cathy on Instagram and on Twitter, and to check out Blue Willow, you can visit and buy lots of books on the website at Blue WillowBookshop.com, and you can follow the store on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and of course, if you want some really good fun, follow the store on Tiktok. Even better, if you're ever in Houston, why not drop by to see this beautiful little store for yourself?
Cathy recommended two great books:
Dirtbag, Massachusetts by Isaac Fitzgerald
Odder by Katherine Applegate
She also suggested we follow two of her favorites booksellers on social media:
The Raven Book Store in Lawrence, Kansas
Nicole Brinkley, bookseller at Oblong Books, and podcaster at the Misshelved Podcast
