Author engagements refer to events or activities where authors interact with their readers, fans, or the general public. These can include book signings, readings, workshops, or panel discussions. Such engagements provide authors an opportunity to promote their work, share insights about their writing process, and connect with their audience on a personal level. These events can take place in various settings, such as bookstores, libraries, or literary festivals. They often foster a sense of community among readers and writers, allowing for discussions about themes, characters, and the creative process behind works like fiction, non-fiction, or poetry.
