What kind of bookstores book signings allow self published books?
I do not know of any libraries that allow the firm books self published books. I'm assuming Borders and Barnes & Noble, because they only want to sell books published traditionally. So if you want to organize a signature Book, who do I agree with? My book is an urban fantasy (it is a real world and there are no mythical creatures. The element of fantasy is just magic). I need good answers please.
I dare say this, lol, but I've heard a PublishAmerica (the tabloids) author saying that she was able to score a signature with a library local, because the fantasy was selling well locally, and they wanted to quickly schedule a signing for his book. The downside was the editor. The perpetrator ordered many books for his signature and the editor was too late to get delivered and the author felt the pressure of the bookstore that wanted to quickly set a firm, and had fear that they would resubmit the offer. There are many problems with PublishAmerica, so do not even think of them as its editor, else you will regret it and waste of his book on them. I have also heard of a self-published authors who are capable of signings and get one or two of your books stored at local bookstores. You must get out and visit all the bookstores and convince the manager to take the book and possibly let you have a signature. If you have a local fan base is ready and willing to show up and buy your book, I can only make it easier to imagine that we do not know with certainty. It is not entirely impossible, but you have to go out and convince each local library. Some libraries are open to local authors and do not forget the small independent bookstores. There are other places you can book signings, as Shoppes coffee. There is a local author in my city that is having its debut in the signature of a local glass factory. Take it where you can get. The problem can be expected is that, as an unknown, self-published, no one has heard of you or your book, so you might have a problem for people to attend a book signing. Unfortunately, one of the dangers of self-publishing. See some writers' websites and message boards for other ideas. absolutewrite.com / forums has posted some authors do it. Good luck.
