Every book that is
published by Llumina is automatically distributed through Ingram
Distribution and Baker and Taylor to over 25,000 bookstores across the nation
and around the world. Every book is listed on Amazon.com, in Books in
Print, and is made available to big chains like Barnes and Noble and Borders.
It's available, but it also needs to be noticed. This requires marketing
and book promotion;
there are lots of ways to go about it. At one time, there was only the
traditional method of marketing books, usually involving a lecture and book-signing tour.
Radio and television interviews might also be part of the package. Today,
writers can also use the power of the internet to market books in ways never heard of
before for a lot less money. And by
combining some of the strategies of traditional book promotion with strategies
that work on the internet, authors can get their books out of the closet and
into the hands of the reading public.
Successful book promotion takes work. It almost always begins with a press release. This
document should be carefully crafted to attract attention and intrigue the
reader. For more information on everything about e-publishing including
how to write a press release, download our free e-book, How
to Make Online Publishing Work for You.
Llumina Press publishes your book in order
to sell it, and although we can't do all the work for you, we can make your job
a lot easier. Choose one of our marketing packages to get a jump-start
on selling your book to booksellers, libraries, and individuals.
