im curious does every author need to do meet and greets or can they get out of it. im not asking about how successful the book will be just a direct answer to the question if you know anything about this. thanks
No, that's only if the book does good on a big scale. If your book is something that's not really "noticed" in the industry, you won't even have to do local book signings.
Let's hope your work will do great!
