Before You Publish - Pre-sales of Book

"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.

How Can I Finance My Book?
• Pre-Selling: Once production is under way, you may offer your book at a “pre-production discount” to those who are eager to see your book published. This could include entire churches, or those attending your Bible studies or seminars.
In the “Pre-Publication” sales program, the single most important area to make it work is…

A group of people who will buy your book...this usually is the congregation from a pastor’s church, people at a conference or seminar, or a large mailing list. If the person does not have a group to present their offer to, then they are not going to have very good results doing a pre-publication sale of their book.

If this is one of the options you are considering you may want to begin the cover design early in the publishing process. The use of a picture of your cover included in a letter or printed on a postcard is a very effective way to promote your book prior to publication.
