I don't think I had a problem with punctuation. My problem was with ... creative use of words and their arrangment.

I would be really interested to see trends in daily numbers (like...are weekends more popular? How much does a negative review on top on Amazon affect things?) but if daily numbers exist, they're more expensive.

(I was told that the numbers do include Amazon.)

But punctuation might have saved it. Maybe.

Well, if Bookscan is 70%, then the total is actually about 2,500.  

That means we have 5,500 left we need to sell before I earn out my advance.

Wow, yeah it is. Brandon, weren't you going to go on book tour? Perhaps it needs a little more promotion.

He's planning on one, but it all depends on Dave.  I do know he's going to Indiana soon, this month I beleave, but I don't know anything about the westcoast ones.

I won't say much, because EUOL can speak for himself, but since I was present at the lunch between Brandon and Dave where they discussed it, I can say that the book tour has been moved to August. So, it's on--but postponed.

Stacer and other book editing types familiar with the publishing world: What else can be done to increase sales--right now?
