Writers Share 37 Funny Places To Do Book Signing….

After months, years or a decade of toil, you have finally finished your masterpiece! Yeaaa! Now onto  getting it out to the world. But where? How? Can you do it with a difference? In a writers forum the question was asked…

Where would be some funny places to do a book signing?

Here I share authors’ thoughts as they poured in their tales:

Funny Places For Book Launch

1. Flea market
2. The side of the road somewhere
3. Ihop
4. Outhouse line at the county fair
5. Outside an Apple store
6. 3D Theater
7. Bluegrass Festival
8. The Bathroom
9. Carnival
10. Chucky Cheese
11. Beauty Salon
12. Cemetery
13. Hospital
14. In the Bait shop at a local lake
15. At a sign store
16. At a winery
17. Night club
18. Funeral home
19. Church
20. County jail
21. An organization for the blind
22. High-end men’s clothing store
23. McDonald’s
24. Boxing gym
25. Liquor store
26. Laundromat
27. Planned Parenthood
28. An internet cafe
29. A vet for a dog book
30. At a book burning
31. The stationary aisle at the local pharmacy
32. In a kids backyard tree-house
33. At the end of an obstacle course
34. Under a mistletoe
35. Bed, Bath & Beyond
36. Aquarium
37. Bowling alley

Yep, some of these are sure funny. But the thing is… it all depends on what your book is about. Your book’s theme can help your choice. For example if it’s about the story of dogs, then why not consider a veterinarian’s office. If it’s about building the perfect home, then Bed, Bath & Beyond will do.

So if you’re an author, go for it! Let your juices flow! Do the non-traditional. You and your guests will walk away with a smile. Any missing? Do share. We would love to hear.

Cheers!
