If you’re telling me that you can’t spend 100 bucks to support a friend, who’s trying chase the most cherished goal of his life, God help you! And your friendship.

At a selling price of about 100 bucks, the book is probably cheaper than a coffee at your favorite coffee shop or a meal at a mediocre restaurant or a movie at the most rundown cinema hall or a piece of garment that you wont even wear the second time around. The funny thing is that the book is really cheap. Or may be secure a larger print run ( which is like a wet-dream on starry night). Or get an advance ( which is unheard of, for non-celebrity authors). And may be negotiate better terms with the publisher ( who often is very cocky and is used to getting his way with authors). More than confidence, it makes the writer grow balls to work on the next one ( if he’s in it for the long run, like I am!). Both these things give immense confidence to writers, especially the first-timers like me. And that in turn pushes the publisher for the next print run. That pushes the book a tad higher in rankings. You know when you “buy” a book, you contribute to the sales of the book. And for those who are used to getting freebies (journalists, reviewers etc). Just that I expect friends, acquaintances, clients, and colleagues to “buy” the book and help me! Free copies are meant for those who expect a favor (exchange, barter etc). And when I do that, invariably, I am expected to cough up a free, autographed copy of the book.Īnd ladies and gents, to put on record, it is pissing off! Since #tnks is amongst the biggest things that I have done in life, I often talk about it to friends and strangers.
