We finally got the necessary tons of work done, and Daughter of the Leopard can now be ordered for individuals, bookstores, libraries, etc in all text formats. Ebook, regular paperback, regular hardcover, large print paperback, and large print hardcover. We’ll love to add an audiobook once the book is better known and can attract talent at a good contract rate: we don’t want to use AI first.
Ingram-Spark allows us to add Share and Sell links at a discount: we’ve already provided one for the large print paperback. Over the next few days I’m going to work on tidying the website for smoothly finding all 5 formats, and I’ll include the I-S share and sells for each at a discount.
Our next project is running modest ad campaigns (below is the graphic we whipped up) and starting a postcard/email campaign to reach out to schools, libraries, bookstores, African studies programs etc and introduce the book. Additionally I (Ann) forsee the ability to finally resume work on the sequel! It’s already about 40% finished. We hope to have it out in spring.
Monique is still working her three jobs in addition to doing book events, collaborating on postcard/ad approval etc; and I have the sequel and book introductions to oversee. It’ll be a busy fall and winter for us both!
