Hi ,
This week on The Writing Coach podcast I speak with one of the world's top book marketing experts.
Amy Collins is the founder of Bestseller Builders and president of New Shelves Books.
She is a trusted expert, speaker, and recommended sales consultant for some of the
largest book and library retailers and wholesalers in the publishing industry.
She is a USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL bestselling author, and, in the last 20 years, Amy and her team have sold over 40 Million books into the bookstore, library, and Chain store market for small and mid-sized publishers. She is a columnist for and a
board member of several publishing organizations and a trusted teacher in the world of
independent publishers.
During our discussion, Amy describes:
- Why there are so many talented authors, but only a handful of truly successful authors
- How getting a job at a book store led to her 30-year career in publishing
- The role Book Buyers play at brick and mortar book stores
- Why not every idea needs to become a full-length book
