AUTHORS AT THE MERCY OF ALGORITHMS #1

Many readers, and perhaps some authors, don’t know of the power of algorithms and how they can make or break the success of a book. The first instance is pre-orders. Pre-orders will determine if online retailers (cough, Amazon, et. al) send messages and feature any one book. The more pre-orders, the more they’ll feature the book. It will also determine how many books their publisher will print. The best written book can fail if these algorithms aren’t put into play. It is no longer just about the craft, as it should be.

Three months before its release, both the print and e-version pre-order links of my book, PORTRAIT OF A CONSPIRACY, are now available. I’m so thrilled to be working with a publisher attuned to being competitive.

The e-version is ONLY $4.99!!!! 

I would be ever so grateful for any interested readers to make their way over to their favorite online retailer and put in your pre-order. Sharing this post would be a big help in assisting me to triumph over the algorithms.



Here are the links to the two biggest online sellers:

With gratitude.
