(Possibly ebook first, to generate word of mouth before the print title is available.)<br />Major bestselling authors will still get huge print runs, but I can't see publishers accepting returns for midlisters and new authors in future.Simon Hayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660767551431793439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-55642728339023133362011-10-13T11:37:43.311-07:002011-10-13T11:37:43.311-07:00Book promotion is hard for ALL authors (okay not a...Book promotion is hard for ALL authors (okay not all, just most mid-list who make up the majority of authors represented). There is NO easy golden ticket in publishing. Everyone pays dues. I liken the name 'traditional' to large publisher. We own a publishing company, and it does well. I wouldn't dare take on an author that doesn't want to do anything to help promote their work. Now, most of the larger publishers feel a bit of the same.LM Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624508396760965680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-82134859304014028832011-10-12T18:51:15.532-07:002011-10-12T18:51:15.532-07:00I do have a question.

Do you find it harder to promote books that don't have that big name "traditional" publisher name on there?<br /><br />I didn't know they tore the covers off! What's the difference between the perfect paperback and the mass production paperbacks?

It's cheaper, and that makes more sense to me.Kelly Hashwayhttp://www.kellyhashway.comnoreply@blogger.com
