Produktbeschreibung

How do Canadian libraries decide which books to carry, and how can yours be one of them?

Shelved is a practical guide for self-published authors and illustrators who want to get their books into Canadian libraries and start earning income through the Public Lending Right (PLR) program. Whether you publish independently or with a small press, this book shows you how to register your work, distribute it effectively, and make it discoverable by librarians across the country.

Inside, you'll learn:

• How libraries acquire materials and how to position your book within those systems
• How to register for the Canadian PLR program and get paid when your book is borrowed
• What distribution platforms to use, including OverDrive, Cantook, and Hoopla
• How to price your books for both retail and library use
• Why getting into libraries supports long-term, low-effort income
• How to market your book to library buyers and increase your visibility without chasing trends or burning out

Filled with actionable advice, live links, and no gatekeeping, Shelved helps indie creators treat their books as real assets in a real system and finally understand how public infrastructure can work for them.
