1) Have a moderator to lead your program
2) PA system (a Mic.) if you expect guests upwards of 20
3) An agenda or program (includes your presentation/synopsis, Q&A, book giveaway or raffle, etc.)
4) Nice display of your books at the head table – If possible, have a second table for book sales and a support staff (friend or family member) to do the selling.
5) Make arrangements for someone to take pictures and/or videos
6) Your favorite pen to sign autographs
7) If you can afford it, have a table of light refreshments (snacks, water, and soft drinks)
8) Take pictures with as many guests as you can.
