Want to Get Your Book Stocked in a High Street Bookshop?

So you’ve written your book. After weeks, months, years, of writing it’s finally finished, you have it printed and you’re ready to share with readers. But how do you get your independently published novel onto the shelves of a high-street bookshop? Will the bookshop stock it?

The Booksellers Association has published a new guide aimed at independent authors looking to do just this!  The guide also offers ideas and tips for authors published by a mainstream publisher.

Sheilla O'Reilly of Village Books, Dulwich, said "With so many books published, sometimes getting books onto the shelves of bookshops - and in front of customers - can be challenging. Authors are constantly striving to ensure that their books are in the bookshops, and are always looking for hints and tips as to how to achieve that. Booksellers, similarly, are regularly asked by authors how they should best approach their local bookshop.

So we thought we’d pull together all the advice and tips into one document. Our Top Tips for Authors gathers together advice from a variety of booksellers and bookshops, with the aim of producing a comprehensive document to help authors get their books into bookshops."
