Tracking Preorders – June 9
June 9th, 2017To review for those new to my blog, I’m publicly tracking preorders on my forthcoming novel The Last Good Man. The novel has already earned a Publishers Weekly starred review, and several glowing endorsements from other writers. But it’s a crowded marketplace…
My goal is a modest 500 preorders before the June 20 publication date — only eleven days away! This is the first week print preorders have shown up. Only 36 so far, but it’s a start. Thank you to everyone who ordered. This number has been included in the total below.
| Date | Total Preorders | Events |
| May 5 | 31 | Social media announcement of preorder links |
| May 12 | 84 | Email to 1800+ newsletter subscribers** |
| May 19 | 164 |
• New review by Michael Patrick Hicks • probable inclusion in targeted Amazon emails |
| May 26 | 225 | New review at Barnes & Noble blog |
| June 2 | 285 | • Email to 525 newsletter subscribers(++) • Included in a list of summer reads at Kirkus • Included in a list of summer reads at The Verge • Included on 3rd pg of “NOOK Press Presents” |
| June 9 | 377 | Includes some print preorders |

Details:
++ The 525 newsletter subscribers are a separate list, newly signed up via a recent promotion. It should be assumed that most are unfamiliar with my work.
