International Association of Culinary Professionals
March 29-April 2 2012
Millenium Broadway Hotel, Times Square, NY
I will be joining my friend Maria Speck to talk about how to create a successful book tour in the modern era: The reality is that few authors get the funds to do a full-scale book tour. So how do you get your book to clear the clutter as a first-time author? We’ll be talking about two distinct ways to get your book to stand out, as well as the hard mechanics of book event logistics and which efforts work best—from book dinners, to signings, to cooking demos.
