SATURDAY, OCT. 19, 9:00AM - 5:00PM (DURING THE SUMMIT) 

Nearly all authors dream of seeing their books on the shelvers of Barnes & Noble stores, Target stores and others. But of course, there are many other retailers besides those. 

And one of the best ways to start of your journey into broader retail is to start with a few stores to begin building a track record for sales. 

With this 5-minute pitch meeting, you'll have the opportunity to showcase your book(s) to Katie Weaver, former owner and current buying consultant for the Itty Bitty Book Store, a chain of 6 retail outlets in 5 states. Based on a number of factors, Katie will determine which books to include in one or more of the stores. 

Strong sales would lead to orders of more books and more prominent placement - all of which can help you attract a national distributor for greater retail exposure. 

Hurry! If you want to secure a pitch meeting, you should sign up quickly: pitches will be limited to the first 40 attendees that sign up!

Please note: to secure this pitch meeting, you must also sign up for the Main Event as well. Due to expected demand, we cannot allow people to pitch the distributor who are not also attending the main Summit as well.
