Writer's Summit Tip #28:

Become an Amazon.com reseller and sell as many used books as possible (look on your basement shelves for likely candidates). You should start this process the moment you know you are going to write a book. You need to make a concerted effort to get a great amazon.com reseller rating. You will be selling your own 'author signed' copies through the reseller program no matter who publishes your book. It will be advantageous to have a good reseller rating when you start that process.

Writer's Summit Tip #32:

Have a 'return policy.'

If you are calling a bookstore to set up a book signing event and you are asked if your book in "Print on Demand," answer, "No." The bookstore doesn't really care how your book was printed, what they are really asking is whether or not your book is 'returnable.' Answer that question with your return policy, such as "I offer a full 120 day return policy."
