Could you please come to Leicester? I love your books so much! It would mean so much to me if you did! 🙂
Hey Chloe! Sure, I’ll be visiting Leicester. I’ll post up the date once it’s confirmed. adz
Do you visit the North East at all AJ? In a professional capacity that is, I’m not asking as to your whereabouts all of the time, that’s a little creepy 🙂
Hey Dan
The furthest afield I’ve done a signing is Newcastle, I think. The problem is that I only make a pound or so from each book sold, so need to sell one hell of a lot if I’m ever to cover my travel costs (forget the time spent). I’m more than happy to do events if my travel costs are paid, but that virtually never happens. For precisely such reasons, some writers actually make a loss by being writers, or they simply can’t afford to do many events (Juliet E. McKenna is in the same boat as me if you read her blog). It’s a sad story, but writing it is far easier than selling it in sufficient volume. And publishers are struggling as much as authors cos of the margins. Oh well.
Hey AJ, thanks for getting back to me. That’s some predicament you’re in and I did not realise the discrepancy between cost and income.
I will just have to read from afar then. You are an interactive author and that goes a long way!
Thanks AJ and best of luck, I’ll be keeping an eye out 🙂
