Fiction: Since your book is carried by a book distribution company, it is easy to get your book into bookstores.
Fact: Last year, 1.4 million books were released on Amazon. At the same time, shelf space in bookstores has decreased.
Fiction: If your book was carried by a traditional publisher, it would automatically appear in bookstores.
Fact: Even traditional publishers must fight to get their books into bookstores.
Fiction: The bookstore market is a waste of time.
Fact: The bookstore market still presents a sizable opportunity for your book.
Fact: Bookstore chains change the rules for accepting books multiple times a year (see Barnes & Noble) and every indie bookstore operates from their own set of ever-changing (and subjective!) rules.
What's an author to do???
Recently, Larry Yoder joined the Illumify team as an Acquisitions Editor. Some of you may remember Larry as one of the keynote speakers from our writers conference last summer.
TONIGHT, Larry is going to explain how to navigate your way.
Larry spent thirty years working with bookstores--twenty years as a rep for Macmillan books and then the last ten years working at the Bookies Bookstore here in Denver.
Trust me: if you want to broaden your book sales beyond Amazon, you need to attend this training.
