Books are essential to our everyday
life.
For bookworms, it is important to
hold a physical book in their hands instead of reading it on an electronic
device. I know, as a book reviewer I oblige authors and read in the various
formats available on my laptop. It is easier and quicker, but it is not the
same. A book is authentic. It fits perfectly into your life; you can sit
anywhere and enjoy the feel and smell of it while turning the page.
Since 2012, when my first book, A
Pirate’s Wife was published I had this dream to hold my own book in my hands,
but it never realized. No matter how much I tried to find a permanent position
or tried to save it stayed a dream.
Then, in August of this year (2019)
I had the opportunity to distribute my books through a well-known distributor
in my country, South Africa. And they not only opened the doors for me but to
every client, I brought in. I was excited and apprehensive at the same time
when I plunged ahead. In faith, I signed the contract and proclaimed this my
year to see it happen.
Since then I could print a few books
of each but like with everything else you need to sell quantities to really
make money from it. Since this is my only source of income, I am moving ahead
to get the ball rolling. My clients are already in the network while I sit on
the sidelines wishing, I could print my books. This is where my quest for
fundraising comes in.
I started with the fundraising in October 2019 but since it didn’t reach the required amount, I decided to extend it
without a deadline until the target has been reached, including my new book's
distribution costs as well.
This is a learning curve for me. To
get out of your box and think differently is a whole new experience, especially
when you don't like to talk about yourself. But circumstances forced me to do this, even if I don't like it. I definitely learn to be more open and out there, marketing myself. A big step in an even bigger world when there is so much competition.
