Selling some romance
I tried something new the past weekend. I got a table at a book fair, and sold books.
- Even though we had to explain that we were selling ebooks, we didn’t have to explain that much. I mean, people knew what ebooks were. It was mostly a “which format/which device” kind of deal.
- People bought ebooks. We actually sold ebooks! In the Philippines! People bought ebooks by first-time authors!
- It’s good for an author to participate in the selling of her book, even just for an event like this one. I got to see how people act, how they linger and touch things, and what makes them decide to finally pay up.
UPDATE

Hi Ms. Mina,<br /><br />I just have a question and I think it's fine to post it here :)<br /><br />I just finished reading "LOVE YOUR FRENEMIES" and I'm wondering if you ever wrote a story Isabel as the heroine?<br /><br />I really would love to read a story about her.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Jessica
