Help me get Iris and the Crew into libraries?
Hi, folks! As you can tell by the article title, I’m seeking your assistance to get Season One: Iris and the Crew Tear Through Space! into more Canadian libraries. In this country, we have the Public Lending Right (PLR) program, which gives payments to authors when a library carries our books. These funds are appreciated by us small-press authors! But more importantly, books are free to check out of libraries, so this offers financial accessibility for readers to enjoy them!
If you’re not from Canada, I was also be totally thrilled if you asked your local library to carry my book there as well! Spreading the word is so muchly appreciated!
