So I Did My First Book Signing

It did not go as I hoped. 

The foot traffic was sparse and while I enjoyed meeting all the authors, it had little practical value that I can see.

I had planned to replicate the idea here in my neck of the woods, but that seems less worthwhile now.

So I'm going to seek out more inclusive shows. Craft and art fairs and the like, rather than just book shows. I think a book show attracts a certain type of reader and they are fewer in number than what I think of as the casual reader, who I really hope to get traction with.

Them books look heavy.

I think this looks pretty spiffy. Even with the weirdo behind the table.

 

Yep. It's pretty spiffy.

 

So, live, learn, repeat.
