Greetings fellow writers!
I was a member here quite a while back. Can't remember my old AWWC board name for the life of me, but I do remember the warmth and wisdom I received here. So I'm back to say (((hello))) and I could use some advice too.
1) A librarian wants to buy 15-20 copies of my book through me. My book retails at 9.95. Do most writers give a discount for such an order? If so, what would that discount be? And should my price differ for let's say a customer off the street who wants to buy my book for a group of 10 or more?
2) I've been approached for a local school visit. What should I charge? Is there a general website where I can find the fees for New York City? I've already googled and I found a few authors who seem to be asking for outrageous amounts. In short, I don't want to sell myself short, but I don't want to be greedy either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
oops, forgot to add that I just offered to do a local school visit for $150 - 45 minutes - group of 10-15 girls
