So I’ve never been to a meet and greet with an author, but in December Christopher Paolini will be coming to my country and I’d love to go see him. He’ll be here for a promotional tour of his latest novel Murtagh, however I would love to have my old copy of Eragon (another one of his books) signed. That is of course if he does decide to sign books at the meetings :)

I was wondering, would that be allowed? Would it be ok? I did buy the new book, but I just have a way stronger connection with Eragon and would love to get an autograph there lol

    Yes, I asked Terry Pratchett to sign a copy of my favourite of his books (The Truth) at a signing for a different book (which I was also getting signed.)

    Just don’t be an ass about it. General etiquette:

    • Buy the book the signing is for too.

    • Don’t show up with a big stack of books to have signed.

    • If the writer or the venue is only doing signings of the new book, don’t expect that you get to be the exception to the rule.
