Getting Into Bookstores

Hi everyone,

I’m here to talk to you about getting into your local bookstores. Here are some main points that really helped me.

Have your own ISBN (not the free one).
Have print copies on hand for them to look at.
Ask in-person about getting your book in the store.
Start with local shops.
Bring business cards.
Make sure they know your genre.
Opt-in for events if possible

Alright, now that we covered that. Here are the contacts, costs, etc for getting into the bookstore that I used, Books and Books in Doral, FL.

Split with the bookstore– 50/50
