Hi everyone,
Nadine has encouraged me to share the success of my new children's book with you.
My children's book, Ned Visits New York came out in Dec. 2006. I printed 2000 books for the first printing.
Christmas time I sold over 1200 books!!
The book has gotten an amazing response!!! In April I did a second printing of 3000 books.
The secret of my success with the book has been being able to sell it myself. I live in New York City,
What better book to sell than a book about New York!!
I sell my book to locals and tourist at craft shows, street fairs, and holiday markets.
Self publishing has been the best way for me. I have made more money from the book through self publishing then
I would have made through a publisher.
Plus I am having fun with the book. I did a book reading/signing at Murray's Cheese. (One of the pages in the book)
They had a grape juice and cheese tasting for the kids along with my reading my book!!
Take care,
Kip
