I have been asked to do a couple of readings, and I am quaking at the very thought. I have never wanted to be on a stage, I could make a fool of myself, eek, etc...<BR/><BR/>So hard when it's not enough to write the words. In an ideal world the publisher would arrange lots of lovely promotion and all would be well!<BR/><BR/>What was so good about this particular guy was his quietness, the way he seemed so non-intrusive. <BR/><BR/>And good on ya for turning your books face out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597852661913928616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13140037.post-66448498744123566062008-09-11T16:08:00.000+01:002008-09-11T16:08:00.000+01:00Fair play to him.I would find it really difficult ...Fair play to him.<BR/>I would find it really difficult to approach people like that though. I really would. I don't think I have that 'in' me.<BR/>I worked in a bookshop and some authors were in a lot, signing their books, and making themselves known. I always admired their bravery.<BR/>I do face my books out in shops (so does my Ma!), and have signed them in shops where I know staff (or if my publisher pushes me in the door). Otherwise, I'm useless.

How do they notice your book amongst the many? And then this gentleman did what I thought impossible. I thought it was inspiring.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597852661913928616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13140037.post-66646979679480498432008-09-10T16:57:00.000+01:002008-09-10T16:57:00.000+01:00So true.

That is truly inspiring to someone who has her book in hand and is figuring out what comes next. Reviews, yes, but also the legwork, the face to face interaction. So inspiring.Tania Hershmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781460794034586895noreply@blogger.com
