But 2020 showed up and resolutions aren’t just words. I said print editions, foreign translation, more books are all on the list for things to get done. No more putting off needed things. I finally made the decision on print. Yeah. Not all are out yet, but within a few days all the sites should have my books again. So the first of the resolutions is on its way. On my end things are done. Now it’s just waiting for everything to upload and filter out. Quite a few people have asked me what happened to my print books.
So after the rebranding of last month, it was time to get the next step in order. I have a lot of books at this point, so it becomes a project. But I’m happy to finally deliver to my long waiting fans…
Also remember Legendary Rock Star is on preorder for 99 cents on all sites. I hope you check out my new series!
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did this author’s print books disappear from retail sites?
The author’s print distribution went down in 2018, and a combination of life events — including a new baby, recovery, and moving — delayed the decision on how to proceed. The process of reading contracts, supplying materials, and creating print covers also made it a time-intensive project, causing further postponement until 2020.
How long does it take for print books to show up on retail sites after an author resubmits them?
According to the author’s experience, once the author’s side of the submission process is complete, it takes at least a few days for the books to upload and filter out to retail sites. The waiting period is on the distributor and retailer side, not the author’s, after all materials have been supplied.
Should I wait for print editions or buy the ebook version of a returning book series?
If print is your preference, waiting a few days after an author announces the return of their print editions is reasonable, as availability rolls out quickly once submissions are complete. However, ebook editions are typically available immediately. For this author’s new series, ‘Legendary Rock Star’ was available on preorder at 99 cents across all sites during the print relaunch period.
