We receive a lot of requests every day from self published and independent authors regarding getting their books into the shop. We have to be very strict about what we can choose to take on, generally limited to titles with specific local relevance.
If you think your book will be a fit, please email us with as much information as possible. This should include the basics like a synopsis and cover image, but also the RRP, your trade terms (how much you’re selling the book to retailers), and whether you supply independently or through a wholesaler. It’s also good to know where in the shop you think your book would fit in and any marketing or promotion around it that will benefit your sales.
Please do not send or bring physical copies of your book to the shop for consideration.
We are a small team and can only respond to enquiries that we are interested in stocking.

If you’re uncertain about the information you need to approach us or other bookshops, there’s an excellent guide on the Bookseller’s Association website that breaks down what you need and what to expect.
