First and Foremost; ALL (BUT A FEW) PHYSICAL COPIES MUST BE SOLD BEFORE DECEMBER 1ST. That’s right, I do not want to have any but a few of the physical printed books in my house when it is December. Why? Because it is the Christmas season and unless someone is buying the book as an extremely last minute Christmas present, I do not want the boxes in the house. I have between 50-60 books left and that gives me about 60 days to sell them. How will I sell them all I have no idea, but this week I at least attempted two firsts.
The first first was reading the first few pages of the book - the prologue - live on social media. I am hoping that people listening to the first few pages will be intrigued by the story and buy it. I didn’t want to read too much but I read enough to hopefully captivate them. This was inspired by Sue Whiting and what she calls her Friday Firsts.
Reading my book live on Social Media
The second first, is with the fair being unfortunately cancelled, I set up a table beside a shop and attempted to sell my book there. Though the weather was cold while the sun was out, people did walk by and looked at the cover, asked questions, a handful of people bought the book. People were at least interested and that is important too.
