Let's get books out of boxes and into the hands of readers

Self publishing


Of all the learning curves I’ve been on in self publishing, setting up an online shop seems to be the steepest of all. I just think I’m getting somewhere, and then I go tumbling back to the start.



But am I missing something? My books are fully published, each with an ISBN so rather than going head to head with all legal T&Cs that have been sending my brain to mush, couldn’t I drive traffic to an established book seller… with this in mind I’ve added buy buttons linked to my books on Waterstones, where they are listed, not in stock, but at least available to order from the publisher, which is me. So maybe if you’ve read this far, you’ll make my day by pressing a button and taking a look, maybe even buying a book…?

Or failing that, contact me through the contact form at the bottom of the page, let’s do this together, beat the system and get books out of boxes and into the hands of readers!
