"Hopefully this cover catches peoples' attention" — dato importante para tener en cuenta.

All great ideas! We have lots of little indie bookstores here in the Twin Cities and the fall would be the perfect time to line up some readings/signings. Thank you Jay!

You should maybe check if there are any used book stores around you could go to. I know a lot of times the new bookstores and the chains are able to draw bigger names, but the used bookstores don't get

Most of my recent ones are in Kindle and paperback format. I'm flirting with the idea of just making this one available in paperback. Sometimes I think the Kindle sales canabilize the sales of the physical

Yeah, that could be a good idea if it wasn't too expensive. Although, I guess the other thing is most of those services are for digital books only and if you just offer this as a physical book it might
