SIBA welcomes NAIBA stores to Reader Meet Writer.

Beginning in June, the Reader Meet Writer Author Series will expand its bookseller participation to include bookstores from the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association (NAIBA), SIBA's sister association to the north. NAIBA territory includes West Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware.

Reader Meet Writer is hosted by the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA) in cooperation with its -- and now NAIBA's -- bookstore members. The Author Series features bestselling authors and fresh new voices, fiction and nonfiction titles, in an engaging and accessible format. Participating bookstores are invited to include the events in their regular event schedule, with their own store brandings.

General Event information:

• RMW events are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM Eastern
• Each event is fully moderated and hosted, with plenty of time for author Q & A. Current host is Wiley Cash, author of When Ghosts Come Home (William Morrow, 2021)
