: Re: How far in advance should a new author allow pre-orders on Amazon? I'm in the final stages of packaging the book and would like to start arranging pre-orders to help with the first week "bump".

I am doing pre-releases for various ebook titles. Ideally you should use the maximum amount of time (3 months for pre-releases). Why?

It often takes reviewers at least a month to review a title. Publications are more likely to assign and run reviews if they know that the review will run fairly close to the official publication date. If you have a shorter pre-release window for contacting reviewers, you are less likely to have anyone review your titles.

I'm speaking only about ebooks here, but I think it applies somewhat to print titles as well.
