Next Published Book Up for PreOrder

Oh Yea! My next book, Authors- How to Brand You and Your Books, has been uploaded and ready for pre-order. It may take a week or two for it to cycle through all of Ingram Spark Distribution channels but I created an order form on my own bookstore so you can get your pre-orders in today. For those who wish to get a sneak peak before the day I have ePub version ready for purchase today and hardback copies coming soon. It is a race to see if I get my printed copies before the listing goes live all around the world! It is so exciting just to say that.

I am learning that “Going Wide” takes a lot more forethought, planning and patience. Most of us are use to just uploading and going with Kindle Publishing. Their royalty payouts take about 6 months to cycle through just in case you get any returns. Even though I had a special code for the Set-up Fee they charge $49/paperback and eBook or $25/just eBook. I may still have to shell out $150 to get “Featured” placement on the Wholesale Bookstore Page listings. Of course, they do not guarantee that any of the retailers will purchase the books as they send out the catalog listing in a digital distribution file that each of the vendors must load onto their computers before they can see what new books are available for purchase. And, they do not have any store front themselves so getting the links to add to Books2Read.com for my new favorite thing, Universal Book Links, is kind of problematic.

Do not get me started with the “Wholesale Discount” amount required to be listed and then whether or not you will accept returns that are either charge to you at the Wholesale Price Plus Shipping and a Process Fee; Returned (Charged off your account) and destroyed or not allowing returns at all. It seems that if you do not elect the higher 53% to 55% Wholesale Discount Price and returns you take a big chance that none of the stores will purchase your book at all. However, if you have people going into the stores or ordering the books online then they might order it for them. For heaven’s sake is this really how the publishing business has been run for the last 100 years? Good grief!

The main goal is to inform, encourage and to show you that YOU CAN DO THIS for you, your readers and your professional book writing business.
For those who purchase the book there is a “Super Secret Code” at the end that will unlock some pretty cool extra bonuses for my fellow authors to help you along your journey to becoming proficient in the art of digital marketing and branding your author business.

For those who would rather have the hardcopy version of the book, I have created a buy page on my website. I have ordered 5 copies so far but if I need to order more to have them ready for the September 1, 2022 launch please go ahead and order and I will make sure you receive you copies as soon as the printer ships them to me!
