Each venue includes details about the space and where available, images of the performance venue. Most bookstores prefer to host events within 6 weeks of a book launch. For pitching events, consider that most of the bookstores have a full schedule 2 to 3 months in advance. For information on pitching a reading series, check out the result of the Reading Series Census for contact details for active readings.
