Issue 46 Power to the Indie Booksellers

Hello!

I’m proud to announce that Surrender is available at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena. If you’re around Pasadena, stop by and get your own copy.

Indie Bookstores

My distribution and marketing plan for Surrender was an experiment, and one that’s paid off. I’ve published five non-fiction books before this, and they were all Amazon-focused distribution plans. But this time, I wanted to try focusing on indie bookshops, physical bookstores, and libraries. I’ve sold more books through Barnes & Noble and Bookshop.org than on Amazon. I had a sense that Surrender was going to be the kind of book the reader would want to encounter in a bookstore, to read in paperback or hardcover, instead of as an ebook.
