Bookshop Author Event Poster Template

A 4:5 poster for bookshops, libraries and literary festivals hosting a reading or signing. Shelves and string lights fill the top, and the warm paper-coloured area below names the author, describes the evening, lists the date, time and price, and links to tickets.
