Title: From the Publisher on Trade books
Post by: notthatamanda on February 05, 2020, 01:33:52 PM

I just noticed this today, but maybe I've missed it. The trades are getting a "From the Publisher" section below the also boughts and sponsored ads. They look like ads people do for FB, up to six of them, mostly with editorial quotes in them.
Some books I saw this on:
American Dirt
The Wife Between Us
Searching for Sylvie Lee

Pubs might want to reconsider changing the name of the first (in your list) to 'American Dirty' - might garner more sales that way  :roll:

Well I think it's doing okay. Oprah's Book Club pick + controversy = a lot of sales.
