Gave a presentation today to an autism treatment group, with the agreement that all attending members would get a free copy of my book. 14 people RSVPed, 40-50 showed up. I had to text my mom 5 minutes before starting and ask her to go to my house and get more books. But it went well, and I managed to clear out almost all of my remaining promotional copies, which is awesome. (I was supposed to give them away at the Chicago AutismOne conference in May, but the shipment was screwed up and they didn't get into my hands until the last few hours I was there.) Hard to say if positive word-of-mouth will lead to any real sales, but it was a successful event, at any rate.
