Oooooh… “helping forge the transition path.”
Thems all fancy wordin’s!
Thanks for the offer, but you’re spot on: we have great collegues at Diversion Books (who are *mostly* but not entirely ebooks) but all of us together weren’t making a dent with the distributor.
In fact, it’s the team at Diverson helping forge the transition path.
Hey, really sorry to hear about the publishing and distrubution issues. If it helps at all, I have a pretty good contact at Diversion Books (tho I thought they were ebooks only?), their recently hired main Marketing person. I could put in a good word or make a connection there if you need it? Sounds like your main problem was with Pegasus doing the brick and mortar distribution, after all. Either way, wishing you guys the best of luck and success with the new distributor!
Giant pain in the ass doesn’t even begin to cover it.
We distribute all the hardcovers, but the way bookstores work, as you might imagine, is kind of an old boys club. Each bookstore, which now mostly means Barnes & Noble in the US, has a computer system with ordering software that draws from the few distribution houses that are well entrenched and part of the system.
So, we’re too small to bother with from where they sit without working through one of the bigger houses.
Anyway, I do enough. I don’t need to add every remaining bookstore in North America to my list of things-to-do. 🙂
Just litened to the podcast. Stupid question: couldn’t ya’ll start your own distribution/pub. house business? From what I’ve seen over the years you guys are smart hard working entrepreneurs. Or would that just be a giant pain in the ass?
@Octopon: As BigJohn mentioned, these are for THE ALL-PRO and THE MVP, books III and IV, respectively. If you’re thinking of the big paperback sale of THE ROOKIE and THE STARTER, then yes, those shipped.
This is regarding the paperbacks. Only The Rookie and The Starter have shipped in paperback; The All-Pro and MVP have not.
wait…what? haven’t these books already shipped, like a long time ago?
OH wowzers. Let’s hope the new publisher gets it!
