Publisher's Office [Public] / Re: How long does it take for amazon to publish your book?
« Last post by TimothyEllis on January 25, 2021, 02:10:43 AM »Back before I started using pre-order, going live time for me was about an hour.
First book in a series took longer, but never more than 4 hours.
I used to time it for around midnight Hawaii time on the day I wanted it to release, and it would be available for breakfast time on the East Coast.
If you're releasing a month apart, I'd still do pre-orders on books 2 and 3.
I know what people say about pre-orders and ranks, but if you get KU reads on day 1, any loss of sales rank for the pre-orders is offset by the downloads.
Having the pre-orders for the next book there on release day locks in the sales when people like the book they just read. Otherwise, people can forget or be distracted from buying when the next book comes out.
