Hey, Everyone, this is Mike Klassen.
Imagine walking into your local Barnes & Noble with your friends (after the lockdown, of course!), and when you turn down one of the aisles, there it is...
YOUR BOOK ON THE BOOKSHELF!
Few things feel as good as seeing your book in a bookstore.
While Amazon sells about 50% of all print books, the bookstore market still presents a sizable opportunity for your book—especially the ones in your community. The problem is, bookstore chains change the rules
for accepting books multiple times a year and every indie bookstore operates from their own set of ever-changing (and subjective!) requirements.
What's an author to do???
For Webinar #3 in our Redeem the Lock-down Free Webinar Series for Writers, I will interview Larry Yoder about strategies authors can use to broaden their book sales beyond Amazon.
“How to Get Your Book Into Bookstores”
Wednesday, April 29 6:30 pm (MT)
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
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 in Denver. He's now a member of the Illumify
team.
He'll tell you:
- Who to talk to and what to say
- Barnes & Noble's requirements for stocking your book
- Secrets to convincing bookstores to host your book signing
- ..and more.
Larry is a storehouse of knowledge about the publishing industry—one of my go-to people for insights and advice. At the end of the meeting, he'll be available to answer your questions.
This webinar is the third in a six-week free series hosted by Illumify Media and Word Ninjas.
