Do you have a list of booksellers we can contact directly?

We distribute through Ingram’s. We occasionally work with individual bookshops BUT this is work intensive for us especially as indie bookshops are notoriously bad at paying. The vast majority of our sales are handled by our distributor with some coming through our web site and from authors directly.  

 

However there are lists of booksellers available – Google is your friend.

 

Indie bookshops vary in their enthusiasm though many will support local authors especially if they know you. Cultivate their friendship.  They will often facilitate a book event for you.

 

Some will take books on consignment -  i.e. we supply you with the books, they sell them through their till and we or you invoice them for 65% of the RRP. You scoop up the remainder and use them for the next event.

 

A useful pattern is for you to arrange events ten days apart and top up your supply after each event.

 

To help you with this we can let you have twenty books up front. We call this the author kit.
