Hi Francis, Thanks again for this kind invitation and thorough proposal. We have a few follow-up questions: How much flexibility do you have in the programming? We'd be working with a pretty tight time frame. I noticed that you listed the lunch as optional. Would the meet/greet/book-signing time also be negotiable, if we were able || ; Roberts, Jacqueline Looking at c Just le would ha to make this work? Do authors ever pre-sign books for Big Read participants instead? How many people typically attend your book talks? And what's the typical book buy size? Would 6/23 in the afternoon work for timing? I know you mentioned you have some flexibility. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on these questions. All the best, Emily

Have we ever done pre-signing? Any concern about this? And what are the answers to the second and third bullets? FC

EXTERNAL: Do not click links or open attachments that appear suspicious. Hi Emily, Thanks for reaching back out. We can be pretty flexible here. Here are responses to the queries you posed: • How much flexibility do you have in the programming? We'd be working with a pretty tight time frame. I noticed that you listed the lunch as optional. Would the meet/greet/book-signing time also be negotiable, if we were able to make this work? Do authors ever pre-sign books for Big Read participants instead? Yes, lunch is optional, as is the meet/greet/book-signing. We have had authors do pre-signing in the past, and we could arrange a private pre-signing session if that works best with Melinda's schedule. • How many people typically attend your book talks? And what's the typical book buy size? We are anticipating a full house in Masur Auditorium which accommodates 480 people. Typically the books sales are in the 100-150 range, but our bookstore is projecting to sell at least 200 copies of Melinda's book. • Would 6/23 in the afternoon work for timing? I know you mentioned you have some flexibility. Yes, June 23 in the afternoon would work great! Best, Francis

Yes, we had a pre-signing with Eric Kandel and it worked well. He signed the books just before his lecture. In the past FAES has sold around 100-150 books for each Big Read event, but they are projecting to sell 200 books for this event. Keep in mind those numbers are just FAES sales since some folks may have purchased the book elsewhere. We can be very flexible in the programming and timing of the events. And we can definitely make June 23 afternoon work. I've placed a hold on Masur Auditorium's calendar for that afternoon. Is your schedule open that afternoon? I answered the questions below in blue. Let me know if you need any additional information in order to reply back to Emily. Thanks. - Jackie How much flexibility do you have in the programming?
