About this title

Synopsis

Do you think libraries don’t buy books from self-published authors? Think again.

In a 2016 survey conducted by US-based library service New Shelves Books, 92 percent of librarians reported they regularly purchase from self-published authors and small presses.

Clearly, librarians are buying self-published books that fit their acquisitions guidelines.

And libraries are full of avid readers. This Quick and Easy Guide from the AskALLi team at the Alliance of Independent Authors tells you all you need to know to get your book onto library shelves worldwide.

About the Author

The Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi) is the professional association for authors who self-publish. Rapidly growing, this global, nonprofit organization brings together the world's best indie authors, advisors, and self-publishing services. ALLi offers contacts and campaigns, education and collaboration, benefits and bonuses—together with trusted guidance on how to self-publish well.

ALLi is global, headquartered in London, UK, but with members all over the world, organized across seven key English-language territories. It runs a directory of approved services, a watchdog desk, a code of standards for authors and services, book promotion and rights selling opportunities for its members, alongside a growing range of resources for emerging and experienced self-publishers.

ALLi also widely champions the interests of author-publishers through its campaigns and projects. And Director Orna Ross has been named "one of the 100 most influential people in publishing" (The Bookseller) for her advocacy. Today, the organization has become an established and credible force in global publishing.
