Self-Publishing a Book? How to Get Those Important First Buyers
After slaving over a manuscript for months, you’re finally holding a printed copy in your hands.
Now what? How can you get the word out and get people to buy your self-published book?
Your local library can be a great place to start. Most libraries will allow you to hold a book signing in exchange for a copy of your book for their collection and a small donation for each book you sell during your signing.
But, to capture people’s interest, you’ll need to do a little more than just sign your book.
Read from a chapter, tell how you got the idea for your book, hold an interactive seminar, teach a workshop.
To learn more about holding a book signing in your local library, just give them a call. Introduce yourself as a new author (because now you really are one!) and let them know you’d like to do a signing in their library. They’ll give you all the information you need.
