Let’s talk about your shop Choose how you want to sell

No technical headaches, and real people to talk to.

A neighbourhood bookshop on a street corner with a striped awning: inside, the bookseller shows a customer a tablet, and outside a young man with headphones reads on his phone.

Two ways to start

Are you selling your own books or other publishers’?

Two editors go through their catalogue at a table, with a laptop and a tablet.

Your own catalogue

I want to sell my books

Sell the books you publish from your own shop. Your readers buy direct from you, under your brand and in the formats you offer.

Sell my catalogue

Publishers and rights holders.

Our digital catalogue

I want to sell other publishers’ books

Choose the ebooks and audiobooks you want from our catalogue. You don’t need to publish books to sell them.

Build my selection

Bookshops and reading communities.

Or do both: one shop can sell your own books alongside a selection from other publishers.

For authors and creators

Everything in one place

Sell print books, ebooks and audiobooks from one shop.

Website, catalogue, payments and reading run as one system. You look after the books.

The bookshop network

2,000+ imprints and 50+ bookshops sell through the same network.

Add ebooks and audiobooks from other publishers to your shop, and offer yours to the bookshops in the network.

Three bookshops side by side: at each door a bookseller serves or waves, and a cyclist carries a box of books between them.

Choose what to sell

Browse ebooks and audiobooks, check the margin on each title and add the ones that suit your readers. The shop, the domain and the relationship with the buyer stay yours.
