The Importance of Author Copies

Whether you are in the process of self-publishing or you have already published your book, it is smart to consider the importance of author copies. Author copies are simply copies of your book that you purchase (or receive for free from you self-publishing company). These copies can be used in a variety of ways to help promote your book and platform.

Popular uses include:

  • Donating to local libraries or schools
  • Sending to book reviewers
  • Selling at events such as book signings or public speaking events
  • Promotional giveaways

Author copies are essential to authors who use their book to promote their business or platform since they can be sold at events and/or business location. Customers love the convenience of purchasing right then instead of having to go online or to a store to purchase.

Author copies are also great marketing tools. They are used in various promotional efforts such as contests and giveaways.

To learn more about purchasing author copies, contact your self-publishing company.

My goal is to educate authors on the self-publishing process in order to help them publish the book of their dreams. Most of the information I share will be related to self-publishing in general, but I will occasionally share exciting news from Outskirts Press. This week, I have exciting news to share.
