About me ...
What is a British lady doing living in Istanbul, Turkey since the 1990s?
Well, I guess it is just like author John Freely says, "The city just gets inside you and never lets you go."
And my interest in this network ...
... books about Turkey, books set in Turkey, books that will get Turks reading, books to be translated English/Turkish ... in short, anything about books and Turkey!
I would like to invite you to:
* Come and visit me at my store Greenhouse in Kadikoy, Istanbul, the largest English language bookstore on the Asian side of this vast inter-continental city
* Help us excite Turkish children about reading. We can arrange for you to have great opportunities in a speaking tour in private schools in Istanbul
* Check out my book reviews every Sunday in a national English-language Turkish newspaper : www.sundayszaman.com - Arts and Culture page
* Send me texts and manuscripts that need translating. Recent translations that I have published include "The History of Turkish Coffee", "Mevlana Year 2007" and "The Hittites".
* Attend a writer's workshop in Istanbul. WOW! What a great location! This fall we will be running a 3 day workshop with famous author Barbara Nadel (who says she sets her detective novels in Istanbul because "there are so many good places to hide a body")
* Check out my business partner's book that I edited: "Culture Smart - Turkey" by Charlotte McPherson
İyi okumalar! - Happy Reading!

I recently read your post about the best way to approach a bookstore for sells. And might I say what an insightful post it was.
In your post on the subject of consignment sell in bookstores, you mentioned that it is more likely that the bookstore will work with you if they feel that author will pull the brunt of the marketing. Or something pertaining to that.
My quetion is this. If I were to take in with me, reviews, proof of marketing already done, media exposure dates of potential release, and things of this nature. Along with being organized and polite. Would this better my chances of landing a shelf spot in a book store?
Your insight to this question would be most greatly appreciated.
Hopeful,
Joel
