This week is Independent Bookshop Week so get buying down at your local.
I am a massive supporter of independent bookshops. When I published Dear Tosh I was determined to get it into the local shops or at least get the book into a situation where it could be ordered from a local bookshop.
As a self-published author it’s been difficult. I’m not famous, haven’t published anything before so have no sales records. The bookshops are unlikely to order copies on spec, but via social media, I have encouraged as many people as possible to get down to the high street and visit their wonderful bookshops.
Here’s Dear Tosh in the Bookshop in Bridport
You can also find it in LIttle Toller Books in Beaminster, Bookbag Exeter and order it from any local store.
Doncha just love local bookshops – pity the local press aren’t more supportive of local creative talent !
I was in Little Toller yesterday – only bought 3 !!!
