Pub Sales Soar

7/22/2015

6 Comments

 
An author friend of mine, Valerie Biel, recently started a book club called Books with Beers in a Columbus.  Her idea was to support both local business and local authors.  The book club is held at the Hydro Street Brewing Company on a Thursday evening of each month.  Each month a local author is invited to make a presentation and sign books.  The pub owners agree to sell books and give the entire proceeds to the author.  That’s right – the pub owners don’t take a consignment cut.  Pub owners, Aaron and Sandye appreciate the business on a Thursday night and don’t feel the need to take a cut from book sales. 

Valerie presented at the first event in May, which is right, because she is the marketing genius behind the whole idea.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend because of a theater commitment.  I attended the event in June with author Silvia Acevedo.  There were 15 attending, larger than any book store presentation I’ve made.  The discussion was lively and it was an entertaining evening.

I was invited to leave books for sale in July prior to my presentation on August 6th.   As I was putting together the display following Silvia’s event a woman at the bar bought both Murphy’s Troubles and Out of Darkness.  When I asked her name in order to autograph the books she explained they weren’t for her but a friend who likes Irish history.  This is a pub in Columbus, Wisconsin.

This past weekend I received an e-mail from Valerie, they sold out of books and needed more.  I rushed another allotment of books to the pub on Monday.  I have now sold more books at the Hydro Street Brewing Company than the total number of books I have on consignment at three independent book stores.

Ya gotta love Wisconsin.  Please support my friends:  www.valeriebiel.com and www.hydrostreetbrew.com.
