I’m ashamed to say that as an author of six novels and an anthology of short stories I had not heard of Bookshop.org . Now I do. Thank you 🙏

I'm happy to say that my publisher lists Bookshop directly under Amazon (with the same size font and button!), and I try to point that out whenever talking to someone new. It's vitally important - small bookstores and small publishers are synergistic.

My publisher lists Bookshop BEFORE Amazon.... and still people don't know about it...

I just tried to call up Bookshops. Org and the message that comes up is You’ve been blocked. This is my first attempt at trying this site. Odd !!

I can see your books on there--including one published about a month ago. Unless there is another author by the same name...

They are . They are the prime distributor . There’s a big push to get this book “out there” since it was launched at the Ubud Readers and Writers Festival . Onwards and upwards!

Ah, it was a different Walters. Are your books available through Ingram? Because that is where Bookshop gets the books they list.
