Read Local San Diego aims to get authors

out from behind the computer and face to face with readers to create a richer

reading experience for all. We hope this will nurture non-readers into

excited readers and casual readers into voracious readers. These goals will

be accomplished in two ways to start:

  • By compiling the most comprehensive, searchable online directory

    of authors available

  • By connecting Readers and Authors in a series of year-round,

    county-wide events

BENEFITS OF JOINING READ LOCAL SAN DIEGO

  • RLSD is a KNOWLEDGE BASE. Its comprehensive, searchable online

    database is THE source to discover local authors.

  • RLSD is a NETWORK. It creates connections between readers and

    authors. Our kickoff event is the weekend of November 14 and 15, 2009, with

    quarterly events to follow. We anticipate ongoing events throughout the

    county.

  • RLSD is a MARKETING COALITION. It builds relationships between

    authors, publishers and venues, and expands the market reach of sponsors and

    venues by drawing traffic to their locations.

  • RLSD is a FACILITATOR. It unifies diverse groups of readers,

    authors, publishers, and literary support and creates a literary coalition

    and channel. It aids the Community Relationship Managers and Event

    Coordinators by being a single source for talent, contact, and

    organization.

HOW DO I JOIN?

Do I have to join to enjoy the author benefits?
Yes, authors must join to be featured in the directory. They can also sign up

to be part of events planned and scheduled quarterly throughout the year.

Can I list more than one book?
Yes. The $25 membership is for up to three book listings. If you want to list

another three books, you need to pay for another listing.

How much does it cost?
Membership, which includes listing in the directory, costs $25 per year. Each

quarterly event, which includes at least one event for one book, costs $25.

You can purchase membership and one event for $45, or membership and four

events (one each quarter) for $100.

Can I sell books on the site?
Yes you may. And, if the event is at a bookstore, we ask that you sell the

book through the bookstore.

How can I participate in the events?
Sign up for an event on the events page, and the event committee will be in

touch with you about featuring your book at an upcoming presentation. We will

try to match you with others in your genre which we anticipate will allow a

bigger draw for authors.

What Does Online Membership Get Me?

book sellers, and other publishing professionals. It gives you the

opportunity to be featured on our home page when you have something
