I recently ordered ten copies of my poetry collection, Goddess of the Night, and they arrived yesterday. It was brilliant being able to open the box. It had taken about three weeks for the order to get to me. I wish that it had gotten to me quicker, but I do have to take into account that I was buying multiple copies of a print on demand book. But they are here now.
I will be selling these copies to who-ever is interested at the next Arts Collective Paisley open mic event that I will be attending. It will be taking place at Blend Coffee Lounge, on Causeyside Street, Paisley. I will be selling these copies for £4 on the night, rather than for £6, which is the going rate on Amazon. Hopefully, it will go well. I am planning on putting what money that I do make from selling these copies into buying more and selling them at more poetry and open mic events.
I got the idea of selling my self-published work at open mic events actually came from one of my friends, who is in my writers group. Taking along hard copies of my books, in order to sell them was one of the many suggestions. I am looking forward to doing this. I just hope that it goes well.
