Event Queries
Please note the following before contacting us about your event.
The Space:
Better Read Than Dead hosts in-store author events up stairs in our Art and Design section. This space comfortably holds 30-60 attendees. Authors of kids/young adult books can hold their events in the Kids section on the ground floor. We can occasionally accommodate larger crowds for launch parties and more established authors.
Promotion:
Better Read will promote events using our media contacts, Facebook and other social media, etc. However, we require authors promote their events through their website, Facebook, and other social media outlets. We will do our best to join forces with you as far as promotion goes.
What to include in your e-mail:
- The author's name;
- A contact email address;
- A contact phone number;
- The book/books you're looking to promote;
- Projected number of attendees;
- A website with more information on your author/book;
- The date and time you are interest in holding your event.
- A promotional plan
- Who will interview you
This information will help us in our selection and scheduling process.
If you schedule an event with BRTD, please avoid scheduling another event in the inner west of Sydney within two weeks prior to or following the event. This helps to solidify event attendance.
If you are interested in holding a book-related event at Better Read Than Dead, contact us at events@betterread.com.au.
We consider all requests to hold book events in the store. However, please be advised that we are very selective about which events are held and strongly favour local authors.
