Many authors believe they need every book they write to become a bestseller. In reality, what often drives long-term success is having one strong flagship book that introduces readers to your work and opens the door to everything else you write. A flagship book is the book most people know you for. It’s the title that attracts new readers, establishes your credibility, and becomes the foundation of your author platform. Think of it as the front door to your writing career.

I just published a YA realistic fiction. It was released just over two weeks ago. I was contacted by Best Seller Book Writing (@bestsellerbookwriting on Facebook). This company promised that I would be able to get my book into Barnes and Noble in about 90 days if I worked with them. Right now, my book is on Amazon. I now feel like this is a scam. As a teacher in CT, every penny I have counts! I did, thankfully, pay with a credit card. Should I file a claim?
