SUMMARY:Warwickshire Group: Direct Selling to Readers
DESCRIPTION:All members are welcome to join the Warwickshire Group on Wednesday 20 May from 7.30pm for an evening focused on Direct Selling to Readers. \nThe meeting will be held in the Okens Room at The Oddfellows Hall\, 22 New Street\, Leamington Spa\, Warwickshire\, CV31 1HP. \nFran Hill will chair the event. Our speaker\, Sheila Robinson\, will share her experiences of direct selling at a wide variety of events including bookshop appearances\, talks to groups\, and running stalls at book or craft fairs. She’ll discuss the role of confidence – something she’s had to develop – and offer potential strategies to help you with your own events. \nWarwick-based Sheila Robinson writes mystery fiction and historical nonfiction as SC Skillman. She is both self-published and traditionally-published. Sheila has overcome a natural disinclination to promote herself in order to give author talks to groups. She also hires stalls at fairs where she engages with the reading public\, sells her own books and does author signings. \nPlease bring your own ideas\, experiences and questions to throw into the mix in the ensuing discussion. We would love to hear how you have approached ‘selling your wares’ in any context or\, if you haven’t dared\, what has stopped you? \nThere will be a break at ‘half-time’ for tea\, coffee and biscuits. Please have some coins to contribute towards this. \nThe venue is accessible. \nThis is a free event. \nTo join us\, click the Going button below and enter your details in the RSVP form so we have an idea of how many people are planning to attend. Please contact us with any questions.
