Libertarian huh 
Birmingham is my city I keep telling yall it's a cool place to grow up. All the crazy stuff you get in alot of places you don't get here and for very basic reasons.
1. We aren't forced to be around each other. If you don't want to be around[insert group here] then you can move to/shop at a different spot.
2. AA have our cities & counties while cacs have theirs ...and if you don't care one way or the other you have more integrated places like college towns.
Note: I suggest you bring your books to the local inner city schools(were most of the black kids are) and have a book fair in those k-12 schools. We used to have book fairs a couple times a year at my elementary school. I think thats how my sister got into stephen king actually.
(I keep saying to black comic writers those school book fairs are far better venues to reach black folks*kids* than those comic fairs that most black folks wouldn't be aware of.)

I am The Wrench in all your plans....
yeah i got a mean social media game. 80% of the black people that stopped by my booth were like "I think i seen this on facebook."

Hop in. You coming too!
Good for you but still keep your eyes open.
and I seriously respect your hustle to go there and sell shyt.
Being a comic book artist is hell on earth so you know you got talent if people are buying.

School book fairs???
Yep if you want to reach black kids just take your books ...(hell get a couple 4-5 black creators together) and go to the local inner city schools and ask the principles to have a book fair in the school library.
Basically the the kids would come one class after the next to the library and there would be books layed out on the table and we could buy a book to take home. They used to do that all the time when I was in Birmingham AL elementary school.
This is part of the reason I always got frustrated when I read black comic book writers who go to comic fairs then wonder why the majority cac attendees look funny at their books. I'm like yoooo
....just go directly to black kids just like they used to do us in k-12
Hell I should buy a bunch of black comics from various writers and sell them second hand via k-12 book fairs
i havnt had time due to online traffic but in march, i will start touring local schools, especially my highschool in calera.

I should definitely do this when I publish Aetheon & K'nuba...
Kids will LOVE that shyt, might even have t-shirts for them as well... I should definitely go to my old grade schools and see if I can pull this off...
Good deal and note that you don't even have to be there in person. They never had speakers at our school book fairs.
Basically the school librarian...
- Receives the books via mail
- Informs the teachers there will be a book fair on [insert day]
- Puts them out on display
- Proccesses any sales or book order the kids want
- Informs the kids when there order comes in so they can pick it up
Now that I think about it
It could be a case of the librarians ordering the books on their own dime then making the money back by having those school book fairs.
(Either way the point I'm getting at is that you don't have to be at each book fair in person, the librarians can do all the grunt work themselves. You just have to set that initial school connection)

Best of luck bruh I want yall to win
