Mini Lives: Between the Festivals
Mini Lives are monthly, branded livestream features designed to keep the Fables community active between major festivals. These mini-fests spotlight authors, books, and sponsors in a fun, low-pressure format while giving readers fresh content every month.
Each Mini Live is hosted on YouTube and compiled into a single cohesive video featuring a curated selection of authors and our permanent sponsors.
What Authors Submit
Participating authors will receive a 5-slide template to complete and return. This keeps branding consistent and production smooth.
Your slides will include:
-
Introduction – your name, branding, and a short hook
-
About You – a brief author bio and genres
-
Featured Book – one book you’re spotlighting for that month
-
Game or Giveaway – something fun to engage viewers
-
Follow & Links – where readers can find and follow you
🎥 Optional: If you have a book trailer, you’re welcome to include it.
Monthly Participation Guidelines
-
Authors may participate in multiple months, but:
