Guidelines
Lowest air fare, IRS mileage, per diem fees apply; two-star motel or better
(Housing in private home without indoor pets with prior arrangement).
Fly out 24 hrs or more in advance of event (to minimize the risk of cancellation by airlines).
Fees for a book display must be comp-ed or will be added to expenses. The books for sale include the speaker’s and those by other authors.
Fee Reduction Ideas
Fees may be reduced by the following:
- Setting up an outside (non-bee) book reading/signing that generates satisfactory income. At an additional site, such as a commercial bookstore. The same applies to a large sale of the author’s book titles at a meeting (un-discounted).
- Combination of meetings in the same region of the country, such as a circuit tour of a state or area
- Lucky location factor—If the speaker really wants to visit a particular area.
- Tea cup auction or similar fund-raising event to cover cost of event; LJC will contribute books and other items to this event.
