As we approach the end of an eventful year, we’re looking ahead with hope and ambition to 2021! One of the fortunate innovations of this year has been our new HBE ENGAGE virtual author programs that have enabled us to continue to provide stimulating content to your teams and organizations from wherever they are. See Authors We’re Working With Now or check our calendar for the most current author programs.
If you are considering alternatives to your traditional holiday gatherings, we have some very special authors to tempt your appetites! We’ve reduced our minimum book orders for these events to 75 AND we are donating a portion of proceeds to the Capital Area Food Bank. Check out our Holiday Book Event Ideas, below.
We are already curating a list of authors with new books coming out in early 2021! Take a look at a few of the books on our latest Know Ahead List.
Authors We’re Working With Now
Books selected by our clients for programs through the end of this year include themes of: overcoming obstacles, developing reflections and insights, promoting leadership and accountability, fostering inclusivity, and studying science and technology.
ENGAGE video calls for these books can be readily scheduled. Contact Perry for more information on bringing these authors to your organization today.
Authors For Your Organization’s Holiday Celebrations
Hooks Book Events would like to bring your organization some holiday cheer… and help our community!
We’ve found authors of new books to deliver the most delicious, interactive virtual programs to inspire your team with epicurean delights. These books make great gifts, will be signed by the author, and can be delivered individually to each member of your team.
To make these programs even more accessible, we’re producing them with a minimum order of 75 books. To make them even more impactful, a portion of our revenue from these programs will benefit the Capital Area Food Bank.
