After revealing that no one showed up for her book signing, an author has gained the sympathy and support of the internet, as she admitted to crying "all the way home."

Sharing a picture of a deserted bookstore, Suzanne Young took to Twitter to express her disappointment, stating, "If you ever want to see a career low point, this is it. Crying my entire way home."

On March 29th, the New York-based author had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of fans at Barnes and Nobles to promote her new book, In Nightfall, a creepy vampire horror novel.

Following her tweet about the disheartening turnout, Young received an outpouring of support from across the internet, with her post receiving over 28,000 likes.

Numerous authors publicly expressed their solidarity with Young, reminding her that she was not alone in experiencing such disappointment.

Bestselling graphic novel author Michael Northrop reached out to Young and offered words of reassurance, tweeting, "It stings, but it's a blip."

Author Lija Fisher also chimed in, sharing her own experience by saying, "I was at an event with two other authors, nobody came, so we photoshopped in an adoring crowd."

Overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, Young took to Twitter once again to express her gratitude towards her well-wishers.

"I'm overwhelmed by your kindness and support! Thank you—thank you so much!!

"We have a new link to my dear local bookstore for signed copies of IN NIGHTFALL!"

Several people offered words of encouragement to Young, assuring her that one day she would have a room full of people at her book signings, while others expressed interest in purchasing her latest book.

It's worth noting that Young is not the first author to have experienced such a crushing disappointment at a book signing.

In a Twitter thread back in December 2022, renowned authors such as Margaret Atwood and Neil Gaiman shared their own humbling moments at book signings.

The thread was sparked by fantasy author Chelsea Banning's tweet, in which she expressed her disappointment with the turnout at her author signing the previous day, stating, "Only 2 people came to my author signing yesterday, so I was pretty bummed about it."

"Especially as 37 people responded 'going' to the event. Kind of upset, honestly, and a little embarrassed."

"Terry Pratchett and I did a signing in Manhattan for Good Omens that nobody came to at all. So you are two up on us." Gaiman responded.

Margaret Atwood, the renowned author of The Handmaid's Tale, also shared her own experience, tweeting, "I did a signing to which nobody came, except a guy who wanted to buy some Scotch tape and thought I was the help."

It's clear that even authors as famous as Neil Gaiman and Margaret Atwood have experienced their fair share of disappointing book signings. So Young can take comfort in knowing that such humbling experiences are simply part of the journey towards becoming a world-famous author.
