RE: Papa Lynch's World War 2 Book - Drunk Monk - 03-22-2023
How many author's copies are they giving you?
RE: Papa Lynch's World War 2 Book - Greg - 03-22-2023
25

Wow, that's generous. Your publisher is cool.
RE: Papa Lynch's World War 2 Book - Greg - 03-22-2023
They started at 10 and it was suggested to me I should ask for more. I did.
But, yes. My publisher is cool.
RE: Papa Lynch's World War 2 Book - Drunk Monk - 03-22-2023
10 is industry standard. Or at least it used to be…
Will they be promoting this or does that fall mostly on you?
RE: Papa Lynch's World War 2 Book - Greg - 03-22-2023
I think they will be doing some promotion. They had me fill out a form about places I might visit in case I could do a book signing at a local bookstore. I mentioned Ireland but the book might not be out then. They asked me to set up Social Accounts to help promote the book. I'll do more with them once I have a publish date.
But we shall see. The next event is the final proof after it has been typeset. I will also have to go over the index once the pages are locked in. I should hear from Casemate again this week, I think.

This is typical now. We (YMAA) do the same. Then there's getting reviews, both professional and reader's...
RE: Papa Lynch's World War 2 Book - Greg - 03-22-2023
Ah, readers. The only one I could think of was Myke Cole. I am also trying to get the book put on the John Scalzi 'Whatever' blog website. But again, I need the pub date which is one of the Scalzi requirements.
RE: Papa Lynch's World War 2 Book - Drunk Monk - 03-22-2023
Amazon reviews are very powerful. We (YMAA) aim for 20 reviews per title. We have the authors provide a list of readers/reviewers. The catch is now Amazon requires reviewers to have bought their books through Amazon or on kindle. It’s trickier to provide comp readers copies now.
There’s also resources like Midwest Book Review, Goodreads, etc
There are also contest submissions - I suppose that akin to film fests. We work American Book Feet’s Best Book Awards, Next Generation Indie Book Awards, Eric Hoffer Awards, Forward Indie Awards

What about working the vets angle? Lots of vets organizations across the country as well as WWII buffs (both aircraft, and just general military history)

Look what popped up on Amazon! Although I was told the pub date was some time in May. I will still take it.

So...you have both a book and a documentary film on Amazon?
RE: Papa Lynch's World War 2 Book - Greg - 03-27-2023
Two documentaries, but yes.
RE: Papa Lynch's World War 2 Book - Drunk Monk - 03-27-2023
Nice!
The presale is good for advanced promos & endorsements.
RE: Papa Lynch's World War 2 Book - Greg - 03-27-2023
There has already been two pre-sales and a promise of a third. Yes, they are all family. What are you getting at?
To be a completist, I checked Amazon UK. The book is coming out there a month earlier.
