How important is a listing on Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.com?
They are two of the largest booksellers in the United States and extremely important. Your distributor will probably place your book with both. If you have not contracted with a distributor, click on Amazon.com and check out their “Advantage” program, an automatic in-stock program. At Barnes & Noble you first complete a “Publisher Information Form” to become a “Vendor of Record” with their warehouse. You can find the form on the B&N web site by clicking on “Publisher & Author Guidelines,” listed on the bottom of the home page under “B&N Services.” If you have questions that were not answered, just click on http://www.retirement-writing.com/blog. You ask the question; answers will come from your writing peers and other experts.
