Get NOTICED and Sell More Books: Use Sell Sheets or Publisher Book Flyers - Examples (at bottom)
A successful flyer includes:
- A picture of the book cover
- Prominently displayed title and author names
- A quote, excerpt of a review or blurb (endorsement) from a well-known person or well-respected authority
- Reader-benefit oriented teaser copy (“Your Life Could Be in Danger If …”)
- Brief one-sentence excerpts of the three or four most important chapters, instead of total contents
- Relevant PR or marketing plans
- Brief author bio
- Dataline: publisher name, ISBN, list price paper/hardcover and where to buy. If the book is carried by only one or two wholesalers, list them. If handled by a distributor, include the distributor’s name and 800#. If your title does not clearly and accurately describe the market for your book, be sure to include the discipline or subject area (i.e., health, medicine, self-help, etc.) with the dataline information
