Books

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.
