Brigitte finally got invited to apply to have her memoir carried at Country Bookshelf, an award-winning independent books store in Bozeman, Mon
tana. The owner often takes up to 6 weeks to make a decision about carrying a self-published book. In a town full of self-employed entrepreneurs, you can imagine she gets hundreds of requests every year. Ariana got back to us in just two weeks.
When I spoke with one of the clerks there, the reason for the quick decision became apparent. “There have been a LOT of people asking for Don’t Say Anything to Anybody,” she said. “It’s time-consuming and not very profitable for us to special order it all the time. I’m really glad we’ll be carrying this book now!”
This small but significant success is all because our local Bozeman fans kept stopping in and asking about DSATA. It worked! Yea for Author Advocates like you! Thank you, thank you for all your effort and enthusiasm.
Let’s replicate this success in small town and indie book stores everywhere. What’s your favorite bookstore? Consider dropping off one of these mini flyers to encourage the store owner to carry DSATA. Let them know they can always contact me for direct (cheaper) orders too: anika@montanacoauthor.com
Thanks again everyone! Our next goal is to get on Country Bookshelf’s book signing schedule for our formal regional book launch this fall. Stay tuned.
