Booksellers see it all — what actually moves books off shelves, what authors get wrong about events, and what really makes a bookstore relationship work. This candid panel pulls back the curtain from behind the register: how books get chosen for staff picks and displays, what makes an author event successful (or not), how indie stores decide what to stock and hand-sell, and what authors can do to build genuine relationships with their local bookstores. Come hear the truths booksellers don't usually say out loud.
