1. Author Autographing ( Thursday & Friday 5:00-7:00pm) - The Thursday and Friday Author Rendezvoux are cocktail parties where authors can visit with booksellers and autograph complimentary copies of their new fall titles in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.  Exhibitors are welcome to have authors sign at their booths in the exhibit hall, but these events will not be announced from the podium; so you may wish to include that information in your Guide to Fall Book Camp advertisement (see below).  To schedule your author, email Kyle Larson at kyle@mountainsplains.org with author name, book title, catalog page, and preferred autographing date.  $100 signing fee plus 100 books required.
