The Importance of Events for Authors

In terms of tours, so few publishers these days are doing tours for their authors. I think it's a disaster to just show up and read from your book. You have to be an entertainer. It's actually a cabaret. What you're doing is you're putting on entertainment for an hour and then signing. And as women, we can't just arrive at these events like male authors do. We have to go to the hotel. There's a big low fee. The truth is the world has changed. Nobody is showing up for you unless you're a celebrity.
