On Wednesday, November 5, 2019, Cornfields to Codfish moved from the design phase to the printing phase! After a little celebratory lunch with my husband Bill, I switched from creative writer mode to marketing author mode: How do I sell my book?
Over the last several months marketing ideas have been simmering away on the back burner – now, it’s time to put plans into practice. I’m writing copy for press releases, a book sell sheet, and a detailed bio for people who don’t yet know me or my writing. Today, I’m taking a short break from that to write to you.
I am ironing out details for selling my book. Here are some tidbits I thought I’d share with you today:
1. *Cornfields to Codfish* will be available to ship the first week of December 2019! The retail price is $16.99, before tax & shipping.
2. Soon I will start pre-selling signed copies via my website. The last day to order will be Saturday, December 14, 2019. That cut-off date will allow for packing and shipping in time for the holidays.
3. For Massachusetts locals: I’m working with a couple of shops in Wakefield and Reading, hoping they will carry *Cornfields to Codfish*. Stay tuned!
4. For those of you who live near Independence, Iowa: I’m delighted that Laree's will be selling *Cornfields to Codfish*!
5. For those of you in England: Please email or message me if you would like a book; I’m working on shipping possibilities for those of you who live across the pond in my husband Bill's old stomping grounds.
6. If you have an independent book store near you, that bookseller will be able to order *Cornfields to Codfish* for you.
7. And finally, *Cornfields to Codfish* will also be available through major online book retailers.
Exciting times! Stay tuned for updates!
