Why I asked most of the top authors visiting Melbourne don't do book stores
The publishers/ agents book the Hilton Ect for a 3 course lunch the author speaks for whatever time and signs a few books Depending who it is $120 and up much more fun than standing in line getting a signature in a book store Regards Andrew From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Raymond Feist Sent: Thursday, 14 February 2013 3:59 PM To: feistfans-l Subject: Re: US Cities On Feb 13, 2013, at 4:26 PM, Andrew Collins <[email protected]> wrote: Ray , With the population of us cites why would you come to AUS And NZ With the expense the only thing I can think of is you will be doing the luncheon speaking circuit ? I hope This is so Regards Andrew Different market realities. You can't compare publishing in different countries without weighing a number of things. Australia has always been a monster market on a per capita basis for me, and there's little sense in my flying across the Pacific and not stopping in New Zealand along the way. I'm not sure what you mean by the "luncheon speaking circuit," unless you mean paid speaking engagements. This is not the case. I don't pay a dime for these tours, you do understand? My publisher pays all expenses. If I were paying my own way, I'd be heading straight to the Hayman Island Resort and spend a week on the beach.
