April is National Poetry Month, so what better time to talk about the potential for poetry books in your store? This Marketing Meetup will focus on marketing poetry books and feature booksellers who have experience with the poetry genre, including hand-selling to new and experienced poetry readers and launching poetry-based events and programs in their stores.
Guest speakers will include:
- Yanna Demkiewicz of Milkweed Editions in Minneapolis, Minnesota
- Danny Caine of Raven Bookstore in Lawrence, Kansas
- Anna Claire Weber of White Whale Books in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- Nia McAllister of the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) Bookstore in San Francisco, California
