Graeme Mackie - Deer, Pigs, and a Little Bit of Bull!
Graeme with his book coach Bev Robitai at the launch of Deer, Pigs and a Little Bit of Bull! on November 5th.
Graeme sent the manuscript in around the beginning of August, for assessment and a quote for publishing. After a few weeks of editing and proofreading, the book was ready for its final layout and the cover design. We organised print quotes, obtained an ISBN, viewed a proof copy, and it hit the presses in early October. Since then Graeme has been busy showing the book to everyone he chats to, and prelaunch sales left him with only a limited amount of stock on hand!
The launch was very successful with the last person to leave buying the last copy left.
A new print run was done to fill orders for libraries and wholesalers around the country. (You can buy a copy from www.letsbuybooks.weebly.com - it's a great gift for that hard-to-buy-for mature male!)

Promotional materials
This is the range of promo items we designed for Graeme - posters, flyers, business cards etc. You could add mugs, pens, mousepads, t-shirts, notepads, calendars - whatever type of merchandise suits your publication. We sent out flyers to hunting and fishing stores around the country, and to all the independent bookstores. The book is listed on Nielsen, Wheelers, Total Library Services, and a number of hunting websites worldwide as well as on www.letsbuybooks.weebly.com
It is also available as an ebook on Smashwords and Amazon to reach an international audience which will be increasing exponentially as ereaders and Kindles become common household items. (How many people do you know getting one this Christmas? I know it's on my wish list!) It is available worldwide in print on demand via CreateSpace, so readers anywhere can have a copy sent straight to them from the printer.
