At every book event lately, I’ve been seeing it—gorgeous special editions flying off tables. Think sprayed edges, foil, bonus art... and readers love them. Even if they don’t plan to read the book right away (guilty!), they still want it on their shelf.
In this episode, I’m joined by Fiona—who also writes as Amelia Shaw—an indie author who’s been ahead of the special edition trend for years. We’re pulling back the curtain on how you can create collector-worthy books that delight readers and grow your income.
✨ We cover:
What’s actually selling when it comes to special editions (not just hardcovers!)
Where to source beautiful upgrades without blowing your budget
Smart strategies for pricing, packaging, and shipping
How Fiona used special editions to grow a loyal fanbase—and her revenue
Why this trend is more than a fad (and how to future-proof your author business)
If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing your book as a collector’s item, this episode is your permission slip to go all in.
