My pamphlet Bougainvillea Dancing was £4 I think, all proceeds to charities working in Malawi. One shop in Edinburgh wouldn't stock it because they said it was overpriced. However I sold 200 copies in 18 months so it can't have been too overpriced. Charity links helped! £3 may be undervaluing your work but then other people will see it as a bargain, I think it would balance itself out. I don't think its easy to sell poetry full stop.Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16166950.post-85924416683996222012006-12-24T13:28:00.000+00:002006-12-24T13:28:00.000+00:00Thanks cgp.

I can't decide one way or the other myself.<br /><br />I also remember someone once told me my chapbook was underpriced at £3 and that more people would buy it if it had been, say, £4.50. I'm not sure I agree, but who knows for sure...Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046788730174617923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16166950.post-47337527931940612232006-12-22T16:16:00.000+00:002006-12-22T16:16:00.000+00:00Hi Rob, If I don't know the poets, I'd be more lik...Hi Rob, If I don't know the poets, I'd be more likely to go if the event was free. If I knew the poets it would depend on how much I liked their work on whether I was prepared to pay or not. <br /><br />My line manager always says that people are more likely to commit to going to something if they have to pay for it. I can see his point but I'm not sure I agree. Having to pay may indicate: quality; fashion; an organisation with not much cash; an expensive to hire venue; good refreshments or an organisation that takes my line manager's line of thought.Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.com
