FAQ

Where can I grab a copy of [Insert Book Here]?

There are a lot of book stores out there, so I can’t quite keep track of them all. It’s definitely available on any Amazon site that stocks American/British run books. Your local bookstore should definitely be able to order it in. If you have any troubles finding a copy, let me know!

 

Will you sign my copy? /Can you send me a signed copy?

I would love to. However, authors only receive a small number of copies of their own book; the rest, we pay for. And rather than have you pay for shipping, I have a better idea. Bookplates! That’s right, if you’d like a signed bookplate to stick in your book or e-reader or wherever, shoot me an email (alexrkahler @ gmail. com) with your address and your favorite character. Want more than one bookplate? Send me a screencap of your donation to a charity (of your choice, for any amount) and I’ll throw in some extra lovin’.

 

I want to get published! Do you have any advice? Can you help?

Again, I would love to help you accomplish your dream. But authors have a surprisingly small amount of power in these instances. I can’t get you a contract, and I can’t read your unpublished manuscript. The road to publication is a long, often grueling endeavor, and the mark of a true writer is perseverance. It’s best to build up endurance now. Trust me: it pays off in spades.

 

Can you read my [insert Book/Query/Essay Here]

I wish I could, but I am really quite busy (especially when I say I’m lazing around, because I’m probably doing that out of fear of the mound of work I’m avoiding) and I have to focus on my own words. That, plus a few legal issues, means I really can’t read any unpublished work. If you’re looking for a blurb for a soon-to-be-published work, your people can contact my people to potentially set something up. (I like saying I have ‘people’)
