Hi all,

Last week, a reader asked if he could get signed copies of a couple of my books in paperback. This came up a couple times in the past, and I wasn't sure how to handle it because reasons (logistics), but this time it clicked... and it was super easy.

To cut to details: If you/the reader are good with paying the standard Amazon-site price plus shipping via Ko-Fi, I can order the books, sign them, and mail them out myself. The US Postal Service "book rate" is pretty low for domestic shipping. The two I sent off from Washington to Tennessee cost about $8, plus $2 for a padded envelope. Naturally, international rates would be more expensive, and I'd have to check on a case-by-case basis.

Full disclosure: authors can order copies of their own books at a discount. I actually get a better cut this way than if the reader orders via Amazon directly. As I don't expect a flood of requests, that difference is enough to make it worthwhile to me.

I have (or can get) nearly everything in paperback. Days of High Adventure and the short story collections are the only exceptions.

Would you be interested? If so, (EDIT): The quickest way to get this rolling is to email me at elliottkaybooks@gmail.com OR send me a DM here on Patreon to let me know what books have your interest & where they'd be going. From there, I can check into shipping rates.
Thanks!

Definitely

Hold on, I need to sell an organ. It's not that they're expensive, I'm just generally broke

Realized this just as you commented: the best way to get this rolling is to either DM me here or email me at elliottkaybooks@gmail.com. Let me know what you're interested in and where it'd be going so I can check shipping. Thanks!

Yyyyyeah... lots of that going around. I didn't think of this as a significant sales channel, but I can tell you my bank account really wants me to get that next novel out right away!

I resubbed to the patreon for the ability to comment that I would definitely buy a signed set of the Debtor's War arc of PMF.

Over the next couple of years, I plan to assemble my display case of paperbacks (never to be unwrapped, only displayed). If this is still an option, then I'll be interested in this and tag them all with "Signed by THE MAN." or something fitting. I can't do it now, apartment moving and such.

DMs forthcoming, I am sure.

Honestly if this helps you make more from the sales I'm happy to support this way instead of Amazon

You technically wrote a story about me, so now I'm technically in my favorite author's writing. Score!

Elliott Kay

Yeah, I have, um. Feelings lately. But I'm at where I'm at. Thank you for saying so.

I could probably fund it piecemeal. It's be worth it for me, and I lost my copies of the Debtors' War paperbacks somewhere. Honestly, the price is right, especially if it isn't a limited time deal. I'd probably get everything over time.

Yes, generally interested, but when dealing with Canada shipping, generally interested is very dependent on a lot of details

Elliott Kay

I hear you! My wife has dealt with this for friends in Canada several times. Whereabouts in Canada are you? I could get a ballpark answer on this, at least.

Jesse

Ontario, for the general part. Urban, not middle of nowhere

Elliott Kay

Shoot me an email or a DM here with the specific books you'd want and a zip code so I can check into shipping. Thanks!
