Today I've walked the length and breadth of Beverley to hand out promotional postcards for 'Lifelights'. So far, the Library, the Tourist Information Office, 'The Tea Cosy' cafe and various other coffee shops now have them displayed on their counters/bookshelves. In fact, people were so kind when it came to agreeing to take them for me, I ran out!! I'll need to go back to finish the job...
Next week I intend going into Hull and doing the same. I can almost feel the blisters forming now! :) But an author's got to do what an author's got to do... especially a 'new' to the market author.
Libraries, bookshops, cafes and coffee shops, together with beauticians and hairdressers are top of my list of places to target - anywhere that people are either actively looking for books or tend to sit for a while and might just pick up a postcard to read whilst they wait. I've also had friends offer to help spread the word AND the postcards (lovely people!). So, anyone reading this who thinks they might know of somewhere that the Lifelights postcards would be welcomed/useful for getting the word spread wider (and it doesn't just have to be England) - just let me know through the contact page or message me through my Alina Voyce Facebook page and I'll send some out...
Now... time for a coffee me thinks!
