Milestone Press have our first market stall

Last Sunday, Milestone Press had a stall at Mathilda's Market in Malvern, Melbourne. We traditionally wholesale to retailers, so thought this would be a good opportunity to promote A Book About Me and My School Days and get some feedback from people. It was a great market to be involved with as the organisers have a great mailing list, plus it was for only 5 hours on a Sunday, so it meant I could get a babysitter for the children and rope in my husband Will to help me sell!

Will (like his sister Annabel) is a natural born salesperson, and it was great watching him in his element. He has been supportive of this venture from the start, so this was just a continuation. I loved the immediate feedback from customers and we sold heaps of books. My School Days is really taking off, I think partly due to all the 2008 school starters going through orientation and also through word of mouth. Thanks for your support. We hope you love it!! Fiona

Pregnancy and Birth

This week has been a busy week. Fiona and her family are enjoying their well earned holiday in Coffs. I am jealous as I know from holidaying with them last year, they have fun holidays!!

A Book About Me was featured in the Nov/Dec issue of Pregnancy and Birth. It is still a thrill to open a magazine and see the book featured.

We are finding things are getting a little busier. My School Days sales have really picked up. We think it is because people are thinking of the school year now that it is coming to an end, or a beginning for the new ones that start in 2008.

My daughter Emily starts preprep next year. We had orientation yesterday and she loved it. I also got around to putting Georgia on the ballot for enrolement in 2010.....seems like a long way away.

Speaking of ballots I have great news, but it will have to wait until I get back from Hong Kong. I am heading there on Saturday and will be gone a week. I am looking forward to the shopping
