WHSmiths have an offer on at the moment on ALL books! Buy 3 and only pay for 2, I’d assume you get the cheapest free. They also have free delivery on everything…..

The Portal Between is listed on there and is included in the offer.

Just letting you all know…..

Legal Deposit

I got this letter in the post today!

The British Library now has a copy of The Portal Between on their catalogue. I have no idea what that will mean in terms of awareness, image or sales but it can only be good! As part of the publishing process a copy of every book ever assigned an ISBN has to be sent to the British Library Legal Deposit department.

New Retail Sales Reporting from Lulu.

Filed under: Publishing, Sales, Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 10:30 am

I got my retail sales figures through and it was five. But who sold those five books? Was it Amazon? Was it Tesco? Waterstones? Because some of them were people I vaguely know, I know that two at least were through Amazon, but the others? I’d like to be able to track where sales are happening so that I can target any marketing I do.

So, this email from Lulu is very welcome indeed! (more…)

The Sales Figures Are….

***Drumroll Please***

Umm, Five.

Still, anything larger than Zero was going to be good as April was a mess with distribution and the title filtering slowly into place, and that continued into part of May.

I did work something out though - Sales for the current month are reported during the first few days of the following month - so the Five are from April 27th until May 26th and retail sales from May 27th until June 26th will be reported at the beginning of July. That’s very very fast.

Now, who hasn’t bought a copy yet? A list of online and high street stores where you can buy your copy of The Portal Between can be found on the Sarah Barnard Links Page.

Go on, what are you waiting for?

Yesterday I bought myself sarahbarnard.co.uk and chose to host it with Eco Web Hosting. I’m playing about with site design, templates and other jiggery pokery and I hope to work out how to install a blog on there too. It’ll be a self hosted wordpress thing when it’s sorted.

But for now the blog is here. I’ll put up a big sign when it moves!
