BOOKSTORE
We are partnering with Thank You Books for WIK 2026. The conference bookstore is a fantastic opportunity to promote and sell your books, to support your fellow authors and illustrators, or to get to know your fellow Breezers and conference attendees’ work. The bookstore will feature children’s and craft books published in the last five years (2020 or later). Authors and illustrators who sell on consignment will receive 70 percent of the pre-tax sales price for these books.
BOOK SIGNING EVENT: THE AUTOGRAPH PARTY
This book-signing event and well-loved conference tradition is open to the public and features conference faculty and published authors and illustrators from around the Southern Breeze region (Alabama, Georgia, and the Florida panhandle).
For authors/illustrators: Promote your books and encourage sales of your titles by participating in this fun event! Meet current and future fans of your work, connect with visitors and the public, and make the most of your conference weekend.
For attendees and the public: Get your favorite children’s books signed for your home collection or as a gift to a child, family, or friend. Signed works are also wonderful teacher gifts for their classroom libraries!
To participate in the Conference Bookstore and/or Autograph Party, complete form by February 15, 2026.
