Self-Publishing; the journey

When sending out 1 Sheeters and requesting, exposure, reviews and interviews, the chances that the reviewer would want to see a review copy or 2 of the book is very high. As these copies will come from the original print-run, the delivery  including postage/couriering must be calculated into the costings.

The print run for my most recent book  - Down The Line t was 1000 copies, but the printer did deliver 1100 units. Of that 45 copies, along with the 1 sheeter, have been sent out to different media outlets around the country.

And my success rate?
