Over the weekend I was up north at the Harrison, MI Cabin Fever Craft Show at the Lions club. It was a really fun event well organized, but I discovered something... many visitors didn't realize I was the author of the books I was selling. I've posted a picture of my sign. How should it be changed? I'm guessing I need "Meet the Author" in larger print and then my name in smaller print?
It is just a little sign too. I don't make enough to have a custom sign made yet. I'm not sure what to do, but am thinking on it. I was just thrown off that people didn't realize I was the author - This one woman's whole demeanor changed when I clarified that I wrote the books. She wasn't interested at all, picking up a book and glancing through it as if it wasn't worth her time. I spoke up clarifying that I wrote the books, had over 60 titles, etc and then she lit up! The books then became worth her time. It was the oddest thing, but then I learned that there are companies that come to event selling books, a variety, not their own. I hadn't realized that!
In any case, I've learned, I need to clarify my advertising! Something else to work on in my free time LOL
