Summary:
Booksellers are wonderful supporters of writers’ work, and often writers’ greatest champions, but many writers find themselves disheartened when they’re unable to build relationships with bookshops and those who work there. It’s likely, though, that they’ve simply made the approach at the wrong time, in the wrong way or to the wrong bookseller. In this session, learn about the right ways to build friendly and productive relationships with people selling books.
