You have probably heard me stating that preordering a book from an independent bookseller is the most impactful thing you can do if you're going to buy an author's book. Lately some of you wonderful people have asked for more detail, so I thought I'd explain! [THREAD]
WHAT COUNTS AS AN INDIE BOOKSTORE? Click-to-buy (ahem), B&N, and other huge chains aren't independent bookstores. No hate, but I'm talking about locally owned, community booksellers. /2
When you preorder from one of those, an actual human sees the sale and thinks, "There's local interest in this book! I should look into it." Maybe they'll be inspired to devote some table space to it when it comes out, or even to read it themselves and make it a staff pick. /3
