I always like the ones where everyone's debuting in the same year. They always come up w/pretty neat names. And I love to go one more than one author event.

Another thing I have seen authors do is band together to have an author night at a library, bookstore, or other venue. They get more people to come because there are more authors talking and signing books. :)<br /><br />Best of luck!<br />Jess@Fairday's Bloghttp://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086062096420008519.post-72667756138383697452014-06-25T17:46:41.414-04:002014-06-25T17:46:41.414-04:00Group Book Tours and Blog Hops are a must!

I really like YA Bound myself (adding your new Darkly Delicious group to my list), and I've also really enjoyed blogging for Publishing Hub (used to be YA Stands).
