Pre-orders are early purchases of a book that get fulfilled on the publication date, in my case July 11. Pre-orders ship out first and a copy is guaranteed if the first printing order sells out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pre-orders help authors by helping create a buzz for the book, maybe getting it labeled as a \u201chot seller.\u201d That results in better placement on book-selling websites and convinces booksellers to stock more of the book, even before it\u2019s released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AMAZON<\/strong>: Most booksellers calculate pre-orders on the release date. But <strong>Amazon records pre-orders on the day of purchase, rather than on release day,<\/strong> and they set their rankings on the first week or so of sales. <strong>So, if you\u2019re going to order from Amazon, it helps me if you\u2019ll order on July 11 or the following week.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And away we go!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong> If you\u2019d like to preorder, and I hope you\u2019ll consider it, you have many options on the <a href=\"https:\/\/wilddallasfortworth.com\/wild\/?page_id=142\"><em>Wild DFW<\/em> purchase page<\/a>, ranging from Dallas-based independents to national booksellers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a try-before-you-buy person, that\u2019s cool, too. On the <a href=\"https:\/\/wilddallasfortworth.com\/wild\/?page_id=142\/\"><em>Wild DFW<\/em> purchase page<\/a>, you\u2019ll find where to buy the book in person on July 11 or after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or you can buy a signed copy of the book directly from me at any <a href=\"https:\/\/wilddallasfortworth.com\/wild\/?page_id=145\/\">talk or walk<\/a> not held at a bookstore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey folks!
