Hope you had a great weekend. It’s Monday and I’m armed with more questions, of course!

I got the book up on Amazon this weekend. That happened faster than I thought it would so that was exciting. I’m still working on the CreateSpace piece for printing, but I should have the proof review and all that done by the end of this week.

So my question…rather questions, are around taking the book to local brick and mortar stores. I can’t imagine just walking in with a handful of books and saying “Hi, I wrote this. Will you display and sell it for me?” is the way to go.

What do I need to bring with me when approaching a book store? A printed synopsis, flyers, something else?

I’m guessing I would talk to a manager?

Do I call ahead to speak with said manager before showing up?

Really quite clueless on this part. Figured I’d start asking now before I started this piece of the process.

Thanks!

Cheryl
