I'm not a Google Answers researcher, so take my comments with a grain of salt until a real answer comes along. But basically, it seems like you're talking about marketing (or sales & marketing.) There are surely plenty of books about how to do book marketing; a quick search on the terms "book marketing" at your favorite online bookseller or nieghborhood library will surely turn up a few. Similarly, there are surely a number of books about self-publishing, locatable by searching on that term. Even if your new publishing house isn't technically a self-publisher, some of those books' insights might be helpful. I think, though, that you might be doing yourself a disservice if you're thinking of the sales & marketing process as something that happens sequentially *after* printing. Yes, of course, the books aren't going to get on the shelves until after you manufacture them, but you probably want to be doing at least some sales/marketing ground work at the same time as the editorial/production process is underway; that is, you're probably going to want to have an idea of how your books are going to be sold and marketed to whomever's going to buy them *before* you print a bunch of them. |

Get your books listed in the (usually two) catalogues of distributors from whom both of the big dogs (Border and Barnes & Noble/B. Dalton) buy from when they order books. One of the distributors is 'Ingram'. If it is not obvious, go to Bowkers, get an ISBN, assign it to a book, then you can sell it darn near anywhere you want, including Amazon.com, Allibris, et cetera. |
