“Reyna Grande’s powerful work and discussion exceeded our expectations, and has had a real impact on our community. She helped us achieve a major goal of All Henrico Reads – to bring us together, through literature.” Patty Conway, Community Relations Coordinator, Henrico County Public Library.

Book Sales and Autographing
Reyna Grande’s visits include a book signing session. Most local bookstores are happy to handle book sales, or you can order directly from Simon & Schuster. You can also let Reyna know if you want her to bring copies of her books. Please remember that books should be ordered two to three months in advance to secure copies and allow time for shipping.
Publicizing the Event
Reach out to local schools and let the faculty, teachers, PTA members and students know about the event. Post plenty of flyers at your library and local business and have copies of Reyna’s book available for your patrons to check out prior to her visit. Consider contacting your local media announcing the event and invite them to attend.
