I’ve been a struggling author. I know first-hand how frustrating it is to have spent months and years writing a book, only to get a pittance in royalties while a publisher does little to promote my work. I’ve self-published, and I know that’s not an easy road either, even these days.

How the library market operates

You can’t just walk into a library and hope they will take your book, not even if you’re giving it away! Librarians are happy to get  books, but they also have constraints on what books they can accept. Libraries have policies that tell librarians what they can and cannot buy.

Space and the high cost of storing and/or distributing books to library patrons is another huge limitation. Time is another issue for librarians – believe it or not, librarians have little time at work to spend reading about books.

As a result, the book world has developed a a system to serve the special needs of  librarians who buy books. This system consists of “gatekeepers” you must get past to get your book into libraries.

This system isn’t difficult to understand, but you do need to know the details of how it works to make the most sales your book to libraries that you can.
