Self publisher, new bookshop and packaging, sharing the journey…


Hi, please come in and have a rummage around, I’ve been adding some photos to the bio page, and getting distracted by packaging.


Packaging for fairs:

I’ve checked  my stock of paper bags for Christmas fairs, I know, it’s very early to be thinking about that time of year, but I’ve learnt from experience that fancy paper bags sell out fast, especially in the size I need for my picture books. The good news is, I have a good stock of silver striped bags, but must admit to being tempted by some red striped ones for festive sales…


Packaging for posting:

I have a good stock of bright orange envelopes, the type with stiff card to keep my books safe on their travels. I have a stamp, for personalising the envelopes, my books like to make an entrance when they jump through the letterbox.


Books:

I have a good stock of books, I have all my books printed by a local printer, that way I know that the books are printed to the high quality my stories deserve,


Pen:

Pen at the ready…
