Topic: Book Book Buying
I hope y’all are enjoying your Canada Day long weekend! Last week was fantastic for #DiverseCanLit. I spoke about our chats on CBC Here and Now and we had a our first post-summer vacation chat!
This week we’re continuing the conversation we had about book sales by talking about book buying. Use the #DiverseCanLit tag to follow along on Twitter (or TweetChat). Below are a few of the questions we may cover:
- What obstacles do sales reps face when pitching diverse books to retailers?
- How do book buyers decide which books to purchase?
- How do retailers market their books to readers?
