Book distribution tricks for aspiring and known authors? Find a Good Book Distributor: Distributors vary widely in price and services. Print-on-demand services like First Edition Design Publishing are some of the most cost-effective methods of distribution for self-publishing a book. Instead of paying to have hundreds of copies printed at once, your book is only printed when it’s ordered. In addition, First Edition Design Publishing’s distribution reach to online retailers and physical retailers is unmatched.
Facebook page: This free online site is a fast growing mecca of people around the world. Unlike a blog, your notices or blurbs are limited to smaller chunks of information. You can add a cover image of your book, links to your web site, or information about your topic. Twitter account: What is Twitter? Think of it as news radio in real time, all the time in tiny, short bites of information only 140 characters long. Each time you post or tweet something it goes out into a cornucopia of information that people can access on their computers or cell phones. A well informed bio is important.
Enter competitions. Historical romance writer Candice Hern explains one of her self-publishing tips on her blog that a contest was key to her success: As soon as I decided to try my hand at writing romance, I joined Romance Writers of America. One of the many benefits they offer unpublished members is the opportunity to enter writing contests that provide valuable feedback from judges — regional contests as well as one important national contest. I won two of the four regional contests I entered, and the winning entries for one of the contests were sent to acquiring editors.
