My book sold out TOO fast!
Call it good news/bad news.
Good news: My book - Make (Sneaky) Art - sold out within 2 days at the Jaipur Literature Festival. It was my first time displaying the book in India. I worked hard to be at JLF, pushed my publisher to quickly negotiate a deal with Indian distributors, and stock copies in time. But I did not expect them to sell so quickly!
Bad news: Does this mean everyone underestimated how well it would do?
Good news: Selling out is better than leaving copies behind.
Bad news: It sold out before my main panel on Day 3, so I did not have any copies to sign afterward. I just sat at the Author Booth, commiserating with audience members who had been looking forward to buying it.
Good news: The message of this book resonates with people all over the world.
Bad news: I really wanted to sign those books!
Sigh.
Me, on Day 1, at the pop-up bookstore at Jaipur Lit Fest. So happy!
