Chelsea Banning tweeted about being ‘upset’ when only two friends showed up to her signing.

When debut author Chelsea Banning vented on Twitter about no one showing up at her book signing, she didn’t expect that some of the world’s most famous authors, including Stephen King, Margaret Atwood and Neil Gaiman, would respond with tales of their own nightmare public appearances.

A fat kid who said, ‘Hey bud, do you know where there’s some Nazi books?’” King wrote to her.

“Terry Pratchett and I did a signing in Manhattan for Good Omens that nobody came to at all.

“I did a signing to which nobody came, except a guy who wanted to buy some Scotch tape and thought I was the help.”.

Only 2 people came to my author signing yesterday, so I was pretty bummed about it.

Speaking to the Guardian a few days later, Banning said: “I was pretty bummed, honestly.

“I have sat lonely at a signing table many times only to have someone approach … and ask me where the bathroom is,” Jodi Picoult wrote.

The warm response moved Banning to tears and completely changed how she feels about the lonely signing
