The Kissimmee (Florida) Writers Group has entered into a cooperative agreement with the Osceola County Library system which I think is a wonderful thing. It is good for the community and it is good for the authors. Our next meeting, July 11, will be in the central library in Kissimmee in one of their second floor meeting rooms. This is all very exciting and a long time in coming.
So, in keeping with the spirit of such things, the library is promoting a day, July 20, when authors can get a table to set up and sell their books. All this is excellent and exciting except that I don't have printed books to sell. All my books are electronic format. So, do I sign up with Createspace to have hard copies made on demand with a few of each of my ten books available for sale or do I prepare compact discs or jump drives for sale with the books in their native electronic formats?
Your thoughts?
If you were attending such a book fair and knew that a specific author's books were only distributed in electronic formats how would you wish to purchase one?
Would it make a difference if all the works were available at a minimum price on a single disc?
