Bookstore / Sign Books Killer Nashville 2026

KILLER NASHVILLE BOOK SIGNINGS ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Fully registered authors wishing to sign books not only have the opportunity to meet conference attendees, but also book buyers and fans. All signings are open to the public. Please note, on-site sponsorship display tables are not for the sale of books. Book sales can only be done through the bookstore.

If you wish to participate in book signings, please indicate it on your registration form including available days and times (we will try to accommodate, but cannot guarantee your requested date and time).

If you have already registered but need to apply to sign books, the Bookstore Signing Application will be available soon, once the conference schedule has been finalized.

You must be a registered attendee to sign books at Killer Nashville.

Note: the more flexible you are, the greater your chance of being able to sign books. Every effort will be made to accommodate your schedule, but no guarantees apply. Registration does not guarantee an opportunity to sign. Killer Nashville does not market itself as a “reader’s conference” but rather as a “writers’ conference.” People buy books at Killer Nashville, but more importantly, they come to learn.

Killer Nashville will accommodate all registered authors as space permits.

Please include an announcement on your website that you will appear at Killer Nashville. When signing times are assigned, please include that information on your website as well so that your personal fan base will know when to see you specifically.

You agree to put prices on the books. You agree to deliver the books indicated below on-site to the Killer Nashville bookstore anytime after 10:00 A.M. Thursday, August 22, 2024, and pick up the remainders on or before Sunday, August 25, 2024, by 2:30 P.M.

SHIPPING BOOKS TO & FROM THE HOTEL / CONVENTION CENTER

If you do not wish to carry books with you, the hotel is happy to accept shipments of your books at no charge. Simply mail them to Embassy Suites by Hilton, Franklin - Cool Springs, 820 Crescent Centre Drive, Franklin, TN 37067, Direct: 615-515-5207, embassysuitesnashvillesouth.com The box of books will need to have your name and the name of the program (Killer Nashville) on the shipping label.   Once you arrive at the hotel, you can go to the front desk to pick up the box of books and take them to the bookstore so they can stock them for you.  If you want to ship the package out after the program, you will need to make sure the correct shipping label is on the package (you can do all of this shipping label writing and scheduling of pickup and delivery prior to the conference) and you need to set a pickup time with the carrier of your choice. You’ll take the package from the bookstore back over to the front desk and leave it there for the carrier to pick up.  The hotel does not charge a fee to store books for Killer Nashville.  The hotel does ask that your books be shipped to the hotel close to the program date due to the limited space in the hotel. If you do not wish to ship books to the hotel yourself, we have found that most publishers will more than likely be willing to do that for you if you ask. You’ll, of course, have to ship them back out from the hotel either to yourself or to your publisher, depending upon the relationship you have with your publisher.
