How do you sell more books? First you have to reach the buyers.

And who are they?

Sometimes, answering that question means understanding the demographics and interests of your audience. Sometimes, it’s more complicated. In children’s books, the readers aren’t the buyers. You have to think differently to reach them.

Today, I talk with children’s author Darcy Pattison about how she set up her self-publishing business from the get-go to reach children’s book buyers, in particular how she approached distribution and book awards. It’s a great listen.

So, take a little time to think. Who is actually buying your books. And what do they need for you to reach them.
