The Power of Pre-Orders

Ever wondered why authors promote their books prior to publication day with links to pre-orders? Because pre-order sales are increasingly important in the competitive world of book publishing.

Pre-orders:

• Help build buzz around a book.
• Count towards the first week of sales, so your pre-order might help your favourite author hit the bestseller list!
• Help book retailers estimate how many books they should order, which…
• Helps publishers decide the numbers in a print run.

Independent bookshops do pre-orders too, so they’re a great way to support the indies!

In short – if you’re looking for a way to support an author, pre-order their book.
