Going to Conference, a book expo, or a book signing? Angela L Ackerman's post on her observations of authors and readers at a Writing Conference are helpful. Her comments helped give me another way of thinking about potential buyers and my role as the author in selling. Most authors that I know are not sales people. We are much more comfortable alone in front of a computer writing our stories than trying to sell those stories. Although Angela is giving her thoughts on hands on selling, I wonder if her comments also apply to sitting at dinner at a conference or waiting for a speaker to begin as we interface with those around us. Am I so eager to tell my story that I forget to listen to others?Hand-Selling Your Book: How Savvy Are You?
