Have a bookselling question? Get an answer from a PNBA BookPRO.
Are you stumped with a bookselling question? Have you wondered just how one of your colleagues pulls together an author-signing event, or how to navigate the co-op advertising maze? The PNBA has created a new forum for members to seek the advice of other members who have experience and knowledge in specific areas. BookPROSE is where Professional References On Simply Everything are just a telephone call away!
The BookPROSE directory is listed here. Opinions and advice are personal to each Book Pro and should be considered as such. If you have a particularly thorny problem, consider consulting a second Pro. Telephone calls should be at the convenience of the Book Pro and you should absorb all expenses of the call. Prior to calling or e-mailing, prepare for the exchange by gathering facts and preparing concise questions. Please try to limit your telephone calls to no more than fifteen minutes.
