March Third Thursday: How Books Are Sold

For writers, there is an intense focus on query letters and agents: the first part of the process that will eventually lead to a book for sale to the public. But not nearly as much is known by writers–and even experienced, published authors–about how books are marketed and sold by publishers and bookstores. In this panel discussion, booksellers and sales representatives from publishers will discuss how decisions get made and the chain of events that puts a book on a shelf.
