Book an Author Announces Official Partnership with Event Helper to Expand Insurance Support for Authors and Publishers
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Seattle, WA, February 9, 2026 — Book an Author, a leading platform connecting authors, publishers, and institutions for literary events and educational programming, is proud to announce an official partnership with Event Helper, a trusted provider of affordable insurance for special events. This collaboration marks another step forward in Book an Author’s mission to strengthen and support the broader literary ecosystem.
As demand for author visits, school assemblies, festivals, and community events continues to grow, many institutions require organizers and participants to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) prior to confirming bookings. Recognizing that navigating insurance requirements can be a barrier for creators, Book an Author partnered with Event Helper to make coverage more accessible, affordable, and easy to obtain.
Through this partnership, creators, authors, and publishers who are members of Book an Author will receive an instant $5 discount on every COI secured through a dedicated member link, helping reduce costs while ensuring compliance with event requirements.
“Book an Author is committed to supporting our community beyond just facilitating bookings,” said Serena Li, Cofounder of Book an Author. “By partnering with Event Helper, we’re addressing a real operational need for our members and making it easier for them to participate in more events with confidence. This is about building the infrastructure that helps authors, publishers, and institutions work together more seamlessly.”
Event Helper specializes in providing simple, affordable insurance solutions for special events, including school visits, book fairs, festivals, and vendor markets. Their streamlined process allows users to quickly secure coverage and generate COIs to meet institutional requirements.
This partnership reflects Book an Author’s ongoing commitment to growing a sustainable, supportive ecosystem for literary professionals and the organizations that host them. By removing logistical barriers and offering practical tools, Book an Author continues to empower creators to expand their reach and impact through live programming and community engagement.
