About Susan McBeth

Adventures by the Book, LLC was created in 2011 by Founder Susan McBeth, the name behind some of the biggest literary events in San Diego and beyond. Susan couldn’t escape the feeling that traditional book signings were missing something. Shouldn’t an author’s personal presence be used to create a more unique experience? Susan launched Adventures by the Book to connect authors and their books with the local reading community through custom designed, interactive literary events. Adventures by the Book has since become a home base for passionate readers, published authors, aspiring writers, and others who enjoy engaging cultural events and the written word. The fact is: when readers and their favorite authors share a personal exchange, magic happens. Adventures by the Book Founder Susan McBeth has specialized in event management for over twenty years. Before launching Adventures by the Book, she was the Director of Marketing and Events for one of the oldest independent bookstores in the United States. Through her career, Susan has had extensive experience working alongside publishers, publicists, agents, authors, and readers. Her experience and creativity led her to develop ABTB’s dynamic brand of literary events designed to meet and exceed the expectations of all of the above. In 2018, she launched NovelNetwork, the nation\'s first match(dot)com to connect authors with book clubs. Book clubs register for free and gain access to dozens of authors who are interested and available to chat with book clubs, either in person or via video chat.
