Pre-ordering is probably the single most impactful thing you can do to support authors. It signals early enthusiasm for the novel to the publisher and retailers. It lets them know that they should be paying attention to this book. In a sea of thousands upon thousands of new novels, pre-orders can help one stand out.
Pre-orders also contribute to first-week sales numbers. In other words, if you want to give your favorite author a shot at making a best seller list, pre-order their book!
I often describe the importance of pre-ordering to those who have never pre-ordered a book before by explaining that every pre-order is essentially a vote for whether or not I should get to keep my job. The more effectively I am able to show that I can sell books (even before they come out!), the longer I am able to keep writing them for a living.

If pre-ordering isn’t an option for you (or if you want to find even more ways to support authors!) there are a lot of ways you can show enthusiasm:
Mark LITTLE ONE as “Want To Read” on Goodreads. This has a surprisingly big impact! It takes only a second or two (directions here if helpful). You can find LITTLE ONE on Goodreads here.
Request that your local library order the book. Check to see if your library has a “Materials Request Form” or “Suggest a Purchase” on their website, or simply contact them with a note that you would love them to order LITTLE ONE by Olivia Muenter from Little, Brown — and/or any other upcoming book you’re hoping to support!
Share on social media. Boosting the cover image and other information/excitement about the book makes a huge difference. It is so, so appreciated.
More about Little One…
A searing new novel from the USA Today bestselling author of Such a Bad Influence, about a young woman whose life is upended when a journalist uncovers her hidden past as the daughter of an insidious cult leader.
From the outside, Catharine West’s childhood sounds idyllic—balmy days spent running barefoot through the gardens, plucking ripe tomatoes straight from the vine as sunlight warmed her skin. Her parents built a life that was simple and community-focused, an ethos that soon attracted others in need of a change. For a time, Catharine’s magnetic father was enough to keep the farm thriving, and temptation outside its gates. But as she grew older, the farm and family she was raised to love faded into something darker, forcing Catharine to evolve with it.
It’s now been a decade since Catharine abandoned the farm and has done her best to reinvent her life, until an email from a charismatic journalist interrupts her peace. Her first instinct is to ignore the stranger’s prying questions—whether she knew about a mysterious “cult” in central Florida, whether she is the same “Catharine-with-an-A” who lived there for a time. But when she realizes the journalist knows far more than he’s letting on, she reconsiders. If Catharine can stay one step ahead of him, she may be able to find the one thing she never wanted to leave behind—her sister, Linna—and make sure her own secrets remain buried too.
Sharp-eyed and sweltering, Little One masterfully captures the dread of facing your deepest desires, when the hunger to become your best self threatens to drown out everything else. An achingly astute look at modern womanhood and wellness culture, it tackles the enduring question: How far would you go to be good?
