Bookstore Fundamentals

Seeing your title on bookstore or library shelves is one of the many joys of becoming an author. Enjoy your bona fide author status as you reach your target readers. Plus, boost your discoverability among academic institutions or organizations that may find your book useful.

Bookstore Returnability

The Bookstore Returnability Program overcomes one of the major obstacles that self-published authors face when attempting to get their book on bookstore shelves. When you choose to enroll in this program, you make your work more attractive to booksellers everywhere and increase the market availability of your book. By making your book returnable through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, bookstores can order and stock your book without worrying about what to do with any remaining stock. The Bookstore Returnability Kit combines this invaluable service with a selection of effective tools you can use to help promote and market.
