Some...One thing I want to mention is being female. Sometimes it can be quite alarming to have people descend on you, and it's worse when you're female. I used to go to cons with an actor from a TV series. Sometimes I had to do impromptu bodyguard for him because those fans could become terribly aggressive in trying to get close to him. A writer friend had a same gender fan start following her around once she realized my friend had published a book. Sometimes people go functionally stupid when they realize the person is a "celebrity." If a writer were making an appearance, I'd recommend they take a person of the opposite gender with them. A fan is less likely to get aggressive if that person merely makes their presence known, and opposite gender means they can deal better with fans of the opposite gender who do become aggressive without crossing any lines.Linda Maye Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203020058437093901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-83688367363691463752013-12-10T10:09:26.935-08:002013-12-10T10:09:26.935-08:00This is why we started our Author Marketing 101 we...This is why we started our Author Marketing 101 website and workshops, to help authors create and promote their published selves - well. :Dtherese patrick, authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14624202282411832436noreply@blogger.com
