Redwood Writers Band Together to Sell Books in Coffeehouses

The following is excerpted from a forum post by Mary Lynn Archibault in The Book Marketing Network:

Members of my California Writers' Club branch, the Redwood Writers, have banded together to sell our books in coffeehouses around our county. One of our members takes the books around and sets up the displays for a percentage of sales, and sells her books too.

It's working well. Seems folks who hang out in coffeehouses like to read. I sold 11 books last month, and I didn't have to do anything but supply the books!
