We were joined in a recent Instagram Live by John McDougall, Event Coordinator at Murder by the Book—a phenomenal indie bookstore in Houston, TX.
- Don’t lead with info about your book being available on Amazon. 🫤
- Do be a presence in the store. If you’re local, attend events, be a part of the community. 😊
- Do be patient! Bookselling is still retail and responses can take minute if there’s a lot going on at the store. 😊
- Do share your favorite indie’s content on social media. 😊
- Don’t wait until your book is released to reach out! 😒

And be sure to join SinC Worldwide every Tuesday afternoon at 1pm ET for a live discussion of craft, marketing, and other important topics in the writing world. Whatever the platform, or the format, SinC is Where Writers Belong!
