Now let's get it into libraries!
I've a simplistic idea on how to get our POD books into libraries and therefore "out there". It will be a matter of trust on individuals but if we all pull together this could work.
If I list all POD books here. Others writers can request them at the library (costs nothing).
If you are interested in taking part put the title of your book and author name and ISBN number in the comments page, and I'll get to work devising a plan of action.

ReplyDeleteOh so simple and yet just a perfect plan Louise.
ReplyDeleteI'll have a crack at anything. In fact I was considering putting it in our local library just to gauge interest.

ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
Fabulous idea! How does this work for non-UK authors?

@ Stephanie: "How does this work for non-UK authors?"
ReplyDeleteI've really no idea. Do non-UK authors not get paid for books being taken out of libraries? I find that hard to believe. Surely, if I asked for your book in *my* library you'd get a percentage?
Does anyone know the equivalent of PLR for non-UK?
OK, I'll be passing my library today, so I will put in a request for those books listed above.
