Looking at the link, I would add that you are a celebrity in certain circles in your own right. So you might adjust upward a little for that. Whether there is something about this venue, such as hardships they are undergoing that makes you want to offer a discount is another matter; but if you do decide to discount, please at least start from a number that takes your being you into consideration in deciding what to discount from. And I know you tend to undervalue yourself; but your being more famous than your average author is something that has commercial value to the venue. Your name will attract more people than your average single book author. If you start to undervalue yourself, maybe the Adorable One could Loom.
