And they still accept you as their own ? You must not be asian . <| sep |> I ordered from Lulu working fully in GBP and I ' m on a smaller scale , but the postage was 11 on a 30 order of ten books mainly chapbooks which in the past have sold well . That extra quid per book doesn ' t help , but my market at that convention wasn ' t large enough to sell through a larger order . I barely sold that order plus the leftover stock from elsewhere . I didn ' t bother buying in novellas . I still have stock that hasn ' t sold through yet . I ' m hoping to dispose of the rest of the stock at the February convention , then reevaluate what I ' m doing . I ' d hoped to subsidise the books by selling ebooks , but conventions are places where people want physical product . I fully admit that this is the point my lack of selling skills takes over and I start looking for a publisher . I ' m putting more effort into a longer book long enough for , say , a Gollancz or Angry Robotstyle opendoor event and less effort into the chapbooks and novellas I ' ve been doing before now .
