They can do so in bulk orders and I can't offer the schools discounts like the distributors want to. I've sent all the information to three of the distributors that I met last week and one has responded already (the way books have to be paid for through createspace is what will keep them from carrying my books) so I'm waiting to hear from the other two to see where it goes. If by the end of the month I haven't heard from them, I will contact the fourth distributor and send the information to them. I couldn't have asked for better contacts with just those 5 tables and talking to folks. <br /><br />Just keeping my fingers crossed the distributors can pick up and carry my books in large print runs - E :) elysabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07052446855668120700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683693601755638678.post-5900759348887137852012-10-12T08:57:39.326-04:002012-10-12T08:57:39.326-04:00Sounds to me like distributors are one of the main...Sounds to me like distributors are one of the main obstacles preventing independent authors like yourself, from ever getting a chance to publish any of your works. Sort of like Walmart moving into a small town and running nearly every mom & pop store in town, out of business. Keep your head up and stay positive.Diplo_Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349376430486545451noreply@blogger.com
