Book Launch Application

1. If your application is successful, please plan to arrive at the Board Room (4 th Floor Artspace, 100 Arthur Street) 45 minutes prior to the start of your launch (time and date to be negotiated). The Guild will have a host waiting to welcome you and help you set up.

2. Bring your books, a signing pen and a spare pen, and a financial method for selling your books and keeping track of sales. You might want to bring a friend or family member to help with cash transactions when you are signing and selling your books so that you can keep your focus on your customers. Bring a ‘float’ so that you can easily make change.

3. If you would like the Guild host to introduce you, please bring a written introduction that the host can use. If you have somebody else you would like to introduce you, please let us know in advance.

4. If you are providing refreshments, please bring everything you will need: food, drinks, glasses, serviettes, cutlery if needed, paper plates if needed, beverage glasses if needed. Please bring your own tablecloth if you would like one on the table to complement your refreshments. If needed, the Guild can provide a plastic tablecloth. Again, you might like to ask a friend or family member to preside over the food and drink table.

5. While the Guild’s intention is to provide this new book launch service as a benefit of membership, there are inevitable costs. We therefore request a modest donation to the Guild of $25 for your book launch. If you decide to launch two books at the same launch, the cost will be $25 per book. This will be due after you sign the contract.
