We don't distribute what we call the 'media kit' to booksellers. The 'media kit' is really for authors. It comprises four different versions of the cover, a PDF, a Kindle file for those books that are also published as an e-book for Kindle, an order form with author discount and the latest version of our marketing plan.
Booksellers find out about our books in several ways. The most important is through Ingram's, our distributor who alert all major retailers about the book. Our books all carry ISBNs and are registered with Nielsen's which means any retailer can find out how to obtain the book.
Very occasionally we work directly with bookshops. Often these are local to a particular writer who may have popped in to chat to them or indeed sent them information about the book. Sometimes our writers work directly with a bookshop.
