Congratulations Casey!

Each will have their own experience
Casey. As for me, my goal wasn't
to have my book in every book store,
however to make it available to be
order by any book store.

So to do that, I obtained an account
with Baker & Taylor. Check them out
and review each distribution option
they have available.

This allowed for me to get my book
into Barnes & Noble at Georgia Tech
University. And it happened because 
the person who does the book purchasing
believed my novel would fit the foot
traffic she receives.

I presented to her a presentation filled
with reader reviews, and few other things.

Then there's the on consignment opportunity
where the store will pay you as the books
are sold on predetermined per book split.

Carey I suggest reading a book by Dan
Poynter.... It's a great read to get yourself
knowledgeable and savvy with the publishing
process.

It's hard to explain it all here. 

Should you have any questions please feel
free to ask. Okay?

Continue to make it happen!

Won't Be Denied,

hey flash thanks for responding - it is a new micro press named Salvatore Publishing - they have published a few collections of short stories before but are very new... I know that they do use baker & taylor and their other books are on barnes and nobles, waterstones and amazon - so i feel good about the web presence but i mean to actually get it on a shelf.

I understand that with a small press like this i will be doing most of the work and i am fine with that, poetry is a tough sell anywhere. So really what is the proces to get it on the shelf?

Do i create a "preview" of my collection with a few poems in it, the isbn info, etc and then go to the store and ask to talk to the store manager? describe the book and give it to them? What is the process to actually get it done?
