Why Books Don't Sell

This morning I was wondering, "What do so many authors give up on their books just months after publication?" I believe the answers rest in unreasonable expectations.Here are a few facts for you to consider about publishers in general, and about Christian publishing (such as CSN Books , and secular publishing, such as Legacy Line Publishing).Once a book is released, UNLESS the publisher has put up a large amount of money for promotion, the book will sit without some sort of plan.To help promote your book, your plan needs to start with YOU - you wrote the book, you love it, and you feel it is worthy to talk about.So talk.Visit any local venue where you can share your story - hospitals, various clubs in your hometown, libraries, etc. Just because you are an author who wrote the book, don't expect the publishing company to do the rest. We need your help!
Thanks for listening. What's your feedback?
