The secret of getting your novel onto supermarket shelves
Most authors would love to see their books sold in supermarkets because that usually means increased sales. But there's not a lot of space for books in supermarkets and it costs the publisher vast amounts of money to get what shelf space there is, so only the top names (or potential top names) are carried and promoted. But now all is revealed on how to crack this particular nut and it comes straight from the mouth of the key book buyer in one of the major supermarkets in the UK - Asda.

It is designed to raise the profile of crime fiction further, already a popular genre in the UK, and will be a celebration of crime writing.

Hidden Gems in International Markets
I'm attending the annual autumn seminar organised by the Independent Publishers Guild of Great Britian in London this week, and this year its topic is 'International Trade- The Hidden Gems.'
The Seminar will help independent publishers to make the most of their overseas business, identifying some territories they might not have considered in addition to providing up to date information on established export markets including North America, Australia and Ireland.

Gary C. King said… - Hi Pauline--thanks for accepting my friend request! Congrats on your successes in crime fiction. I hope one day to write some crime fiction myself. I'll check out your true crime on your site--best wishes to you when you decide to write it. Historical true crimes can be very interesting, and yours is so close to home, so-to-speak.
Kind regards,
Gary

- Hi Pauline, I'm not at the London Book Fair but am at Crimefest and Harrogate - I'm pretty sure you're at one of those and will certainly say Hi. Nice to catch up again.

Mack Lundy said… - Hi Pauline,
I've looked at the programme for Crimefest several times and wish the economics were better so that I could drop in. So many people I'd like to meet.
Happy to learn that your books are available in the US. Availability in the US is often one of the drawbacks of having a liking for UK wirters.

Maggie Bishop said… - Hello Pauline, you mentioned the RAF and my dad, now 90, has a story. He was career USAF and was transferred from Texas in 1954 to a closed RAF station called Molesworth in Hemingford-Abbots (Hunginton Shire, 60 miles north of London). Dad had the first busload of American troops to reopen the base. The entire mission was classified and he didn't know what was going on until years later. Each person had a top secret clearance and didn't know what other sections worked on. They took the belly out of B29s and put in a bar for paratrooper spies to hold onto to be dropped behind enemy lines. A new windowless building was built to produce pamphlets to be dropped.
I went to first grade there and remember learning to hand stitch a napkin. I'll check out your website.

- Will do. I'm in the middle of writing right now. Marketing your book is so very important. Good luck with it. And don't forget to keep writing,because the more you write the better it gets, that's my experience anyway. I try to write every day even if it isn't much some days. But then I'm hooked on it and love creating plots and characters. It's tremendous fun. Speak again soon. Bye for now. Pauline.

Thanks for being on "my friends". You are right though, I have multiple cases and experiences I can write about. I'm concentrating on getting my first book selling better, promoting and the likes. When you can, keep in touch...............
