Authors often insist that a broad range of individuals in a variety of fields will want to purchase their books, but does that really happen? Sales reps present our catalogs to buyers in face-to-face meetings, but initial purchases appear to be shrinking, even from our best retail accounts. Knowing our audience influences everything from print run to pricing. Representatives from our core audiences - bookstores, media, and academia will discuss shifts in the scholarly marketplace to help us determine just who are our customers now and how we can retain and even increase this audience.
