This is my first book (YA romance, with a bit of fantasy). I'll publish it independently in the next few months, and will sell it online and on Amazon (ebook).
The book is not in English, so I expect most of it will be sold back home, but there are lots of people who speak the language here in London and I have quite a few friends around who might be interested in meeting and buying a copy (as friends do).
So, a few of these friends suggested I make a small book launch, and I'm considering it. My first idea was to do it in a function room in a pub in Central London.
I could also do it in a small, independent bookstore (but I'll sell the books myself, so I assume they won't like the space to be used for that).
Another friend suggested to just use the space somewhere like the South Bank Centre and invite everyone.
I would like to offer something, like wine (as long as I could buy the wine in Tesco, and not paying the price a pub would charge for a bottle...). I have nearly no budget and expect just a few people.
Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
