Interested in being a featured author at an IAE event? Please look over our guidelines and then fill out the form. Authors will be notified when there is an event taking place in their area.
Featured Authors
*To be considered as a feature author, an author must be multi-published with more than three titles. (New authors keep reading. There is an opportunity for you as well.)
*Authors will be responsible for providing the books that are sold at the event. For books that are pre-ordered IAE will arrange with the author/publisher to have those copies prior to the event. (Copies sold at the event, and not through registration, will be sold through the IAE store at the event and the author will be compensated for the sales. No books may be sold by individual authors.)
*Authors will be expected to give a brief presentation about their books and a reading if they choose.
*Authors will be responsible to bring their own SWAG items and promotional materials.
*Authors will be required to attend the entire event from start to finish and a mandatory meeting/reception the evening prior to the event.
*Authors will be required to sit at an author's table which will have attendees present. Authors will also be required to work the room and meet all the attendees. (If you're an introvert start working on your handshaking skills.)
*Authors will be required to help promote the event in their area.
New Authors:
*Authors with less than three titles published at the time of the event may attend the luncheon as a guest.
*A limited number of New Authors will be included in the after luncheon book signing (if space is available.)
*New Authors will be responsible for providing all books that will be sold at the event.
This is a great way to meet other authors and readers. It's always a good thing to make new alliances when you're starting. Both authors and readers are valuable resources.
Multi-Published/non-featured Authors
Due to limited space, if you have applied to be a featured author and were not chosen you can still participate in the signing event (if space is available.) Please read the requirements above for New Authors as these will apply.
Please fill out the Invitation Request for to be considered and notified of future events.
*If you are not a feature author please consider volunteering. You will find a volunteer form under the volunteer tab*
