I have found lots of venues and been invited to many events because of social media as well. Making connections with folks is always worth it even if sales are slight. I often find that I've made new friends who buy books later and keep in touch over the years. I feel blessed to have "met" great people, including you.<br />Susan Whitfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215871952420224793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10479189974436584.post-43621195667149551212014-04-29T00:01:51.775-04:002014-04-29T00:01:51.775-04:00After-thought: Sorry for the typos, am trying to w...After-thought: Sorry for the typos, am trying to work too fast and should know better.Mary Dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097790821159195213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10479189974436584.post-43934162624359295362014-04-29T00:00:06.154-04:002014-04-29T00:00:06.154-04:00All the venues mentioned are doable if you have th...All the venues mentioned are doable if you have them in your area. They're great. However, i live on an island with only two used bookstores and so many authors clamoring for signing dates. I do always give an talk with a Q&A session afterward. Have always found that lots of people wnat to know how to get started in writing, so I can get in a lot about that, plus how to get published and so on. I love talking and find I sell more books when I let people see who I am. We build rapport, which is so important. A potential buyer usually always buys a book if they feel they have something in common with you or your genre.Mary Dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097790821159195213noreply@blogger.com
