THE THRILL OF MY FIRST BOOK LAUNCH – PART II

Planning the launch of Running: The Alex Decoteau Story


Fictive Press Publisher Morri Mostow
Author Charlotte Cameron
Morri Mostow, Editor/Publisher at Fictive Press, and I carefully considered the best date for the launch before booking a slot at our local library. Of utmost importance was to make sure that the books arrived in time for the launch! Although we were cutting it close, it seemed best to go ahead before Remembrance Day, when the atmosphere would be somber and reflective as people remembered the 100th Anniversary of the start of the Great War. By the end of November, we knew the island would be bustling with craft fairs, and a pantomime. Amy Dawley, the head librarian at the Gabriola library, booked us in from 1 to 2 p.m. on November 8th and her staff put up a poster.
