Maybe you know by now that the big-boy brick and mortar bookstores like Barnes and Noble and Borders won’t carry your self-published book. That’s because they’re dependent on major publishers, so it’s understandable. But all online bookstores will carry you, including those named. It’s up to you to see that you put out a well written, well edited and well proofed product.
And now to market! Bring your adrenaline up? It should, because this is another of the most important things you can do for yourself. Earlier, I spoke of making friends with librarians. This is a lifetime thing, you know. And next door to it is contacting independent bookstores. They’re still out there and many of them are hungry for good books you’ll help them sell as a partner.
