Tips for self-publishing authors
We've put together a guide for self-published authors who approach bookshops for advice. Feel free to direct authors to this guide or print and distribute in-store.
Download the promotion guide for self-published authors.

Bookshops report that self-published authors often don't provide invoices with their stock, making payment difficult. Use our guide to invoicing  - it also includes a template for creating invoices.
