How Many Author Copies Should You Really Order?
Why You Should Always Order More Author Copies Than You Think
Always order more than you think… but for reasons most new authors never consider.
Author copies aren’t just for your bookshelf. They’re for visibility, opportunity, and the unexpected moments where being prepared changes everything.
Why You’ll Need Author Copies
Gifting to strategic people
Events, signings, and local bookstores
Media kits + PR features
Client bundles
Retreats, workshops, and high-ticket offers
Last-minute opportunities (because they always come)
And yes… the family and friends who want “just one more copy”
If your book is part of your brand, treat author copies as inventory, not souvenirs.
Most New Authors Order Too Few
And because of that, they miss out on opportunities, features, partnerships, and sales that could’ve happened instantly—if they simply had books on hand.
Professionals know this: Visibility goes to the author who can physically put their book in someone’s hands the moment the opportunity arises.
