In today's digital age of publishing, it's easy to get your book listed on major retail and library sites around the world. But what about: * Attracting the attention of the curators of these sales channels. * Succeeding in getting some of these channels to highlight, spotlight, and promote your book to their customers or patrons. * Having a bookstore or library actually order and stock your print book * Being invited to either host or participate in a live event in a bookstore or library * Standing out as a talented and relevant professional or subject matter expert All of these things take a bit more effort than the average creative person is willing to invest. But that's where you come in; because this type of success is reserved for the truly dedicated author like you.
