To say thank you, I'll be giving away a 2024 General Election poster to one winner who reposts this (and is following) in the next 24 hours!
Best of luck :)

I never get over how small these numbers are. Look how easy it is to help out your favorite authors! (And your local bookstores!)
When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display

More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!
