Authors of the Rocky Mountain Writer's Summit™
The Rocky Mountain Writer's Summit™ brings together, in one place all the resources every author needs to succeed. Service Providers, software, financing, advice from those have gone before down the publishing path. Listen to literary agents, published authors, editors, graphic artists, writing coaches, printers, publishers and many more experts willing to give you free insight into your publishing project!
Writer's Summit Tip #21:
Plan out your first 3 print runs. You should be able to sell out your first print run in 90 days. Print only as many with each run (no matter your ability to afford more) as you can sell in 90 days.

Print turn around time should be no more than 2 weeks. If your book's demand suddenly goes up, you can be ready in as little as two weeks. Don't print a run of 5000 if you can only sell 100 in 90 days. You'll frustrate yourself and end up resenting your book for costing you so much money. The daunting task of seeing a return on investment for 5000 books is staggering. It is much easier to see a return (even if it is a smaller margin per book) on a run of 250.

Plan out your first 3 print runs, and if something wonderful happens, the most you'll be backordered by is 2 weeks!

Writer's Summit Tip #2:

Treat the creative zone from which you write with the utmost respect. It is a special place and you can't always get there on a schedule. As long as you feel like writing, write... When you don't feel like writing anymore, revise or 'write around your book' (write about the project - your bio, your synopsis, your press releases, your twitters, your blog).

Remember, the creation space is sacred!
