Of course, they were delighted to support a local author (even though he now lives 80 miles away). When his book was published it was prominently placed on the shelves. 

After Write That Book Roger learned how to make his book a success and it showed.

He has gone on to be a multiple aware winning author, including the Mark Twain Grand Prize winner at the International CIBA Book Awards.
 

We all want to support independent book shops. A great way to do that is to post a pic (like this one Roger posted) and let friends and followers know the shop where they can buy your book. 
 

Supply Direct

There are loads of ways for you to sell books directly to your readers. 

It's never been easier to set up you own simple website with a sales page. You can even connect it to Royal Mail to print your postage labels and have them pick up your parcels!

You don’t need Amazon to sell your book online.

Sell, sell, sell!

I believe authors need to engage with a little sales hustle.

I don't mean for you need to go all Wolf of Wall Street, but having the confidence to set up a simple sales page, support and approach local shops and make your work easily available has to be part of every author's journey.

I love teaching new authors how to do this - and more.
