Use this guide when your self-published paperback is available and you want it on physical shelves, not just online. Have your ISBN, a finished copy, your trade price details and a one-page information sheet ready.
Step by step
Make the book orderable through the trade
Bookshops and library suppliers usually order through wholesalers using the ISBN. Check that your print distribution option makes the book available to the book trade, and that your title's details are correct in the bibliographic data. If a shop cannot find the book in their system, they are unlikely to stock it.
