Not every Indie bookstore has said yes, but I've received more positives than negatives. <br />I'm particularly impressed by King's Books in Tacoma - they seem to have made it one of their specialties to carry Indie authors, and really appreciate that. <br /><br />It seems like the match between Indie authors and Indie book stores would be advantageous to both.

I've decided to make some changes in the way I shop to try and help them out.<br /><br />Madeline - that sounds like a great bookstore! I hope that we can all work together to keep some indie bookstores alive.<br /><br />Julie - Thanks! It is! And I think that many indie and small press authors could have some similar experiences - all it takes is a visit to an indie bookstore with your book in your hand. :)Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797583622244194866.post-63840690845258701702013-11-13T07:30:08.125-08:002013-11-13T07:30:08.125-08:00I think it's so cool that you have your book o...I think it's so cool that you have your book on the shelves in these stores.
