How To Sell Your Novel. Tip #1


Having several years' experience in retail sales, and having achieved great success with it, I was well positioned to sell my books when they were published. I think if I had to give tips on how to sell your novel (especially at book store signings) I'd start with:

Don't be pushy. Establish a relationship through a short dialogue. Your potential buyer will be inclined to hear you out on your product if you do this. Take an interest in the customer, and they will take an interest in your book.

WELCOME TO THE WRITING SITE OF SCOTT APPLETON

"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." -Proverbs 16:24

In a world where morality is forsaken and Christ neglected, wholesome books are uncommon. The themes of my writing are love, self-sacrifice, and honor.

I see my generation turning from God to the gods of this world. I see homes torn apart in the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification. Children are murdered by the millions every year . . . without ever seeing the world outside their mothers' wombs. Through fiction I strive to encourage those who are willing, to stand against these things and be heroes and heroines; chivalrous, gentle, full of righteous indignation, and the fear and love of their Creator.
