Do authors make money from book signings?
It’s a great question, and the answer is usually a resounding yes. However it all depends on what you want to get out of a book signing. Not all authors see the value in it, and with good reason. It takes a bit of imagination and a view of the big picture to understand where benefits are from a bookstore signing event.
How much do authors charge for book signings?
Sometimes they charge $30 and that INCLUDES the price of the hard cover. Mostly they do this for very popular authors who usually draw large crowds. As an added bonus, each ticket (whether $5 or $30) is numbered, and your number gives you your place in line for the book signing. It’s a good thing, I think.
