How do your events work?

For most events, we will begin with an introduction at the start time, followed by a reading or moderated author conversation, an audience Q&A, and finally our book signing portion of the event. However, please check the Eventbrite details for each event for further information.

Does my (partner/child/guardian) need a ticket?

For in-store ticketed events that ARE NOT sold out, your +`1 may attend the talk/Q&A and wait in the signing line with you, though they will not be able to get a book signed themselves. For sold out/offsite events, each attendee MUST have a ticket.

Where are you located?

MOST of our events take place at our store at 603 N Lamar Blvd. However, please make sure you check the location for each event, as some events are put on in conjunction with outside venue partners. Please note that our events program is not affiliated with the BookPeople at the AUS airport.

Where do I go when I arrive?

For in-store ticketed events, a staff member will be waiting near the front entrance to check you in and provide you with your event book and signing line wristband. Please have your QR code ready upon arrival. After check-in, you will proceed to the 2nd floor of the store.

What if I already own a copy of the event book?

If the event is in-store and NOT sold out, you may attend the talk/Q&A regardless and make a purchase of equal value on-site in order to join the signing line. Please be prepared to show your receipt upon joining. For sold out events, you MUST have a ticket to attend.

What if I already preordered the book from BookPeople?

For in-store ticketed events, if you preordered BEFORE the event was announced, please contact us at online@bookpeople.com. If the event is sold out and you did not preorder before the date the event was posted, we must prioritize customers with Eventbrite tickets.

What if the event is "sold out"?

If we have a waitlist available, Eventbrite will give you an option to join it on the ticket purchase or RSVP page. If the event is sold out AND the waitlist option is unavailable, the waitlist has unfortunately met its cap and we are not accepting further names in an effort to avoid false hope.

What if I can't attend?

We ask that you submit a refund request via Eventbrite 7+ days in advance. You may also keep your ticket and pick up your book at the registers within 30 days of the event. If you know that you cannot attend before purchasing, please place a preorder via bookpeople.com and not via Eventbrite.

Can I order a book to be signed and shipped to me?

Please place an order for the event book via bookpeople.com at least 24 hours before the event and make your request in the order notes field at checkout. Our events and Internet Orders teams will do their best to fulfill your request, if at all possible.

About the book:

In her debut cookbook, content creator Erin O’Brien draws inspiration from three generations of women who taught her to create her own modern spin, with a stress-free approach to boldly flavored food. Erin has built a thriving community of over 1.5 million followers across platforms who turn to her for delicious, manageable, and creative meals, and are eagerly awaiting this book.

Dig In! is the ultimate collection of simple and delicious recipes that cater to every craving and occasion, from comfort food classics to weeknight dinners and family meals to share and savor. In the chapter called WTF to Make for Dinner, Erin solves the age-old dilemma with effortless recipes.

About the author:

Erin O’Brien is a Southern California–based creator who has garnered the attention of millions by sharing simple and delicious homestyle recipes. She originally fell in love with cooking because of time spent in the kitchen with her mom and grandma, who owned a Mexican restaurant in La Jolla. Erin has always seen food as the ultimate love language and something that should be accessible to everyone, which is what prompted her to share her recipes on social media. Her platforms have grown but her authenticity and intention has never wavered—showing that when you have easy recipes, a stress-free approach, good music, and a glass of wine, cooking becomes something that everyone will enjoy. Erin lives in Los Angeles, California, with her husband, Andrew, and their dogs. Find out more at her website and follow her on Instagram, TikTok, and Substack @erinnobrienn.

About the moderator:

Tim Laielli is a food creator, cookbook author, and photographer based in Austin, Texas, best known as @barefoodtim. With a bold, no-measurements approach to cooking, he shares intuitive, flavor-forward recipes that make home cooking approachable and fun. As the at-home chef for his wife and two daughters, his content is rooted in real life, balancing family, flavor, and a healthy dose of humor. His Hometowns series, a heartfelt nod to the places and people that shaped him, explores the emotional connection between food and memory. Tim has built a loyal audience across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, encouraging everyone to cook without rules and feed the ones they love.

By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.
