One thing they don’t tell you about book festivals as a vendor is that you slowly morph into a bastion amongst hundreds, or even thousands, of people in a matter of hours and then you’re locked into your curated universe among many other pocket universes and that’s magic baby

CALL MY BODY A CAUTIONARY TALE is currently printing! Out on October 23 from @thirtywestph.com. Get yourself a copy of my spooky book for spooky season: www.thirtywestph.com/shop/p/callm...

1 bad festival is not your fault. 2? There may be something else. If you’re a new vendor to the public, observe the pricing, ask the organizer for tips, and be flexible hourly. Weather and location matters, too. Hate to see you quit before you have enough data to know a problem.

BTS from @collsbookfest TW chapbooks were the star of the show after a quiet summer. So many lovely patrons, vendors, & tons of books. Was good to be next to @stanchion.bsky.social, see old friends, & repeat readers.Thank you to the most literary town in New Jersey and see you next year.
