in partnership with Bookprint
Avenue
Books exists to help small and independent publishers
achieve a higher profile:
Sales
and distribution networks in the trade will often be
reluctant to deal with publishers releasing only a very
few titles a year; Avenue allows you to be part of a
publishing imprint offering those distributors 12-20
books per annum, and thereby helps you to find the widest
possible distribution.
Avenue Books has established a partnership with Gazelle
Books to help bring your book to the attention
of the retail trade. Gazelle sell to a wide variety
of outlets including major chains such as Waterstones
and Smiths. They also work with Gardners
Books, a large-scale wholesaler and the premier
UK distributor of books.
Gazelle can therefore provide or facilitate the following:
Having stock at Gazelle and Gardners
means that your book can be made available via the leading
internet bookshops
including Amazon, who order their books only from a
limited number of wholesalers. This arrangement means
fast delivery to your customers rather than the 6-8
weeks specified for some books and the extra charges
levied for hard-to-find titles.
To help facilitate acceptance of your book in the retail
trade, we will give it an Avenue Books logo and ISBN
(a code unique to your book). Should you be keen to
retain a publishing identity of your own then co-publishing
is an option i.e. with your own publishing name or logo
also appearing. We strongly suggest however, to avoid
confusion in the trade, that only the Avenue Books ISBN
is used.
Manuscripts for Avenue Books are subject to editorial
consideration before acceptance.
