An Author's Guide to Working with Libraries and Bookstores (3) (Stark Publishing Solutions) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Any author can get their book listed in an online catalog. But what if you want more? What if you want to rise above the digital masses and be relevant to booksellers and librarians?

In today's digital age of publishing, it's easy to get your book listed on major retail and library sites around the world. But what about:

• Attracting the attention of the curators of these sales channels.
• Succeeding in getting some of these channels to highlight, spotlight, and promote your book to their customers or patrons.
• Having a bookstore or library actually order and stock your print book.
• Being invited to either host or participate in a live event in a bookstore or library.
• Standing out as a talented and relevant professional or subject matter expert.

All of these things take a bit more effort than the average creative person is willing to invest. But that's where you come in; because this type of success is reserved for the truly dedicated author like you.

With the right amount of foresight, preparation, effort, and determination, you can rise above the digital slush to a place where you and your book can stand out to exactly the right people.
