Just like any small business, independent authors have a lot of confidence in their product, and put a whole heap of time, effort and love into it. Without the promotional machines of big publishing houses, the author has to rely on his or her own talent at writing – which will then generate the word of mouth needed to promote the book. Rather than being read because it’s popular, an indie book is being read because it’s worthwhile.

A crafts-person knows they are getting their craft right when people are willing to trade their hard earned cash for what the crafts-person has crafted.
A crafts-person knows they are getting the details right, from the designing to the making to the branding to the packaging and the customer service, when people are willing to trade their time for no personal gain, and let other folks know how much they liked it. I'm feeling a bit warm and fuzzy today, as gifts evidently given over Christmas are now receiving feedback in my Etsy store. :)
I've just posted off my three submissions to Nottingham for Surface Gallery's annual International Postcard Show! I have two artsy entries, using my hand shaped Nottingham lace patterned stars, and watercolour tinted brass rubbings, and one silly entry. You can probably tell which is which in the picture above...
The Exhibition is on 16th January - 14th February 2015, and has hundreds of postcard sized pieces of art from around the world - almost all for sale at a flat rate of only £15 a piece. It's a great way to see a wide range of styles and medias, and pick up some affordable home decor or gifts. |
