I talked to my friend Fern who happens to have a masters in literature, and who is also pursuing her doctorate in education at the moment, and she gave me a few tips for the meeting. The tips were quite good and I'll share:
truly listen to what the author has to say
expect some kind of critique
do not ask for autographs for your copies of her numerous books
let her lead the meeting and discussion
I thought these were really useful tips. To prepare for the meeting, I am going to re-read my manuscript, read one of her books, and try to pinpoint what genre my book is. I am also going to research my target audience based on other published works of the same genre. I guess I have alot of work to do!
