A children’s book for adults (who occasionally behave like kids). The one book about politics that won’t destroy your family and friendships if you read it together. (It might even save them.)
Hi Inksharers, I am pretty new to this platform and am bumbling about (trying not to step on toes!) while trying to learn and understand how this all works. In the process, I’ve watched Donna Fung’s videos. Laughed & drank along with the good trio from Drinkshares. And, most of all, read lots of posts about crowdfunding do’s and do not’s.
Somehow in all of this, I gathered that crowdfunding a book is a lot of hard work and one needs exposure. Without much thinking, I decided to vend at I-CON 32 happening this coming weekend in Brentwood, Long Island.
I have my sales tax ID number. I had a banner made. I have copies of my books to sell. I have a few t-shirts to sell and maybe I’ll raffle off one, or two. I have some flyers for my books and I just finished designing bookmarks for my scifi book of short stories, and Fury From Hell, my book that’s currently in funding mode. But it feels like I’m missing something (other than an elevator pitch for each of my books...)
I would love any advice you can share about your experiences with attending/vending at genre conventions such as this: http://blog.iconsf.org/.
Also, if you have some flyers you want me to take, let me know! I can print some and hand out for you. If you’re in the NYC area, I can pick up flyers from you. Or, if you’d like me to have some of your books on the table, let me know that, too.
