Hello Rebels, welcome to episode 93 of The Rebel Author Podcast. Today, I’m talking to Daniel Wallace all about how to run an author event.
In this episode we cover:
- Mistakes to avoid when running an author event
- What small details set an event apart from others
- How to make author events into a revenue stream
- How to pitch speakers
- What considerations do you need to make
- What kind of person do you need to be to run author events
This week’s question is: What are the best author events you’ve been to (digital or in-person)?
Recommendation of the week is: The Science of Storytelling by Will Storr

Best events I have been to are J Thorn’s and Zach Bohannon’s small group events. Rock Apoc 2019, Authors on a Train 2020, and Witches of Salem 2021.
These small events formed bonds and connections that I’ve never been able to recreate at larger events. Because they are so small, I can talk with everyone and have legit and deeper conversations.
On top of that, it makes J and Zach more accessible to everyone, which changes the dynamic completely.
