I remember when I started self-publishing how only traditionally published authors were allowed to have pre-order links on Amazon. I was soooooo envious. Sigh. Then, as time went on, the indie authors were allowed to get them. The only problem with that for me? I was one of those flying-by-the-seat-of-my-pants writers and pretty much I published books on a whim. Spur of the moment. Whenever the urge struck. I would write a book, edit and publish within a month so a pre-order link wasn't really working for me.
Well now it is!
Now that I've slowed down and writing longer books that are being traditionally published - and don't even get me started on how much I am LOVING seeing my books in paperback in the stores! - all of my books go on pre-order about six months before they're released. It's a little weird seeing the book on all the sites and knowing that it won't be available for so long but I do enjoy seeing how many people are ordering a title because they want to make sure they have it on the release date.
I still do it all the time with my favorite authors. And when I do it way far in advance? It's like a nice little surprise when it pops up on my Kindle. It's like a little present and I think "Yeah, me!" for being on the ball and knowing how much I'm going to enjoy reading a new book.
But then again, who doesn't enjoy a new book, right?
