Last week, I shared the wild ride of receiving my first galley copy—that thrilling (and slightly terrifying) moment when an author sees their book in print for the first time. Typos revealed themselves like mischievous spirits, and the ever-present fear of coffee spills kept me on high alert.
But today, we shift from author panic mode to reader excitement mode because… PRE-SALE IS HERE!
What Is Pre-Sale, and Why Does It Matter?
Pre-sale is the magical window where readers can reserve their copy before the book officially hits shelves. But why would anyone buy a book before they can even read it? Well, let me tell you:
For Readers: You lock in your copy the moment it’s available, meaning no scrambling or forgetting when the release date arrives. It’s like getting a front-row seat to a historical epic before the doors even open.
So, what’s going on behind the scenes while you, the reader, eagerly await your copy?
🔹 Final Tweaks: The last little details are getting polished—tiny formatting fixes, cover finishes, and ensuring every page is crisp and perfect.
🔹 Marketing Mayhem: The book is being shared, discussed, and hopefully making its way onto must-read lists.
🔹 Author Existential Crisis : The moment where I wonder, Did I really write a 500-page novel? What if I accidentally called the main character Brad instead of Braxton somewhere?
For Authors: Pre-sales are HUGE. They tell booksellers, “Hey, people really want this book!” The more pre-orders, the more attention the book gets, which means more copies in stores, more buzz, and more momentum on launch day.
Be Part of the Story—Pre-Order Now!
By pre-ordering, you’re helping make this book launch a success while securing your exclusive front-row seat to Braxton’s next chapter.
Thank you in advance for your purchase and enjoy the read!
