“How to Keep your Backlist Titles Alive”
It’s amazing how many successful publishers live off their backlist titles. Are you one of them? With strategic marketing, these older books, “the back list,” will sell year after year. And if you aren’t maximizing these sales, the unsold books that sit in your inventory are actually hurting your business. Learn the secrets of supercharging your older titles, both fiction and non-fiction, and the market-tested techniques these successful publishers use to create a strong backlist, and how that supports their frontlists.
For beginning publishers, start planning now how you will manage your inventory and put fresh life into your earliest titles even as you are planning for future ones.
Pam Swartz, Cloud Nine Press; Robert Rosenwald, Poisoned Pen Press; and Bill Fessler, Primer Publishers are seasoned publishers who handle this question in different ways. Be sure to learn new ways to manage your titles that will lead you to a more successful publishing future.
