You have turned me into a pre-orderer with A Curious Faith and I've never looked back. I've excitedly pre-ordered multiple copies and if I can't find someone to gift them to I will gift them to the library! ☺️
Thank you for bearing your soul through your gift of words. I will never grow tired of hearing you promote your latest book! ❤️❤️
This might be a dumb question. But: can you pre-order a Kindle version? I’m an avid reader but 98% on Kindle due to small children who cause mayhem with lost bookmarks and ripped pages and general nonsense.
I have now preordered 3 🤣. After reading your other books and following you on here I trust your words will be the help I need. Now I have the hard part of deciding which two friends will also get to enjoy your words!
This makes it all make so much sense!! One thing that’s hard for me with pre-ordering is that, being overseas with an APO address, I don’t get the books on their release day. I know it sounds trivial, but there’s always excitement and talking about it on the socials… and then like two weeks later my copy shows up. 😆😩 One question not particular to your book but the process: does it matter what form you pre-order in—ie e-book/ audiobook/ hardcover? Is hardcover the only one that “counts” for this?
Actually, the hardcover that you see on Amazon is not the actual book that Brazos and I approved. It's Amazon's sneaky way of making extra money with no actual benefit to the author or publisher. We worked hard on making the real copy, the paperback, feel and look good so I'd recommend you preorder that one =)
I pre-ordered before there was even a book cover 🥹. I think that we forget or take for granted how the system works against our favorite writers and artists. But what if we valued y’all a little extra? This was something I thought about and why I started preordering books and paying for Substack subscriptions. Whatever we can do to encourage you to press on and keep writing the words we desperately need to hear ♥️
Pre-ordered! I will also definitely be sharing this explanation with the authors I coach in marketing. Such a good explanation that supports the dignity of both authors and readers.
"What if the apple grower becomes a heretic by then."
This is my 2nd article of yours that I've read, and this line sealed the deal for me.
You're my people.
You've explained the whole rigamarole for us authors SO very well — thank you for giving me something I can point to in the future.
(And done! But of course.)
Thank you friend! I hope this little series helps ALL of us a little more!
Preorders are great because you forget you ordered the book and when it shows up it’s like Christmas! Looking forward to reading this one, Lore.
Ha! Yes =)

I am totally not sure! I'm sure if it's an option, Amazon would show it being possible =)

You are wonderful! Thank you!
Grateful that you've offered this candid look behind the publishing curtain. It benefits all of us!
Thank you friend. It helps me to think through the why of what I'm asking people to do too =)

Good to know! Thanks!!
Preordered both copies. Thanks for the code. It will be fun to read with someone else.
You're a gift!
I pre-ordered last month!
Thank you, Tiffany!

Thank you. That means so much to me, Abby, truly.

Oh, I'm glad it was helpful!
Done...one hard copy done a few weeks back and just ordered the ebook. Let me know if this doesn't count and I will get another hardcopy.
Getting that John Deer for you!
