Question by Sunayna: What kind of book stores will allow book signings of self published books?

I don't know of any book stores that will permit book signings of self published books. I'm assuming borders and barnes and noble won't because they only want to sell traditionally published books. So if I want to arrange a book signing, whom should I arrange it with? My book is an urban fantasy (it's a real world and no mythical creatures. The only fantasy element is magic). I need good answers please.

You could try a local independent? You're right, none of the big chains will touch self-published books. They've simply seen so many really bad ones.

To be honest, though, who are you expecting to come? Most self-published books sell zero copies to anyone who the author doesn't know personally. You don't need a book signing to sign copies for your family and friends.
