Women Writing the West was mentioned in the caption, and thousands of people read that.

I googled Author Solutions and found this damning blog post:<br />http://davidgaughran.wordpress.com/2012/11/28/simon-schuster-joins-forces-with-author-solutions-to-rip-off-writers/<br /><br />Seems like if you're going to self-publish you have to go the real indie route and not join forces with these huge companies. I'm guessing you could write a book on taking that path.Susan Campisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255628787592008617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-19041376178889342432013-04-21T08:55:02.709-07:002013-04-21T08:55:02.709-07:00Thank you, Adele!

We were disappointed with the variety and interest. I think some booksellers don't know how to dress it up and draw people in. A lesson for me to learn.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-70209281989179960522013-04-21T08:15:30.932-07:002013-04-21T08:15:30.932-07:00That's a fabulous photo.

All the Women in the West wore lovely clothes, didn't they?<br /><br />The Author Solutions booths didn't seem to have many customers, and I wasn't drawn to the books. With the big publishers missing, the Prospect Park Books booth was the best one there, abuzz with excellent authors and books - and free salt caramels. Well worth the scenic trip to USC on the Gold Line and shuttle.
