AnnaFeatherstone<p>Authors: want to know how to give your book the best chance of being chosen by Australian libraries? One of my favourite places is my local library. Not just because of all the wonderful librarians and the books I get to borrow, but I also get the buzz of seeing my own books on the recently returned shelf, or hear that my farm memoir is being enjoyed or dissected by another bookclub. This week too, Australian authors received our Lending Rights notification (the annual payment AU authors receive if there are at least 50 copies of your book available in AU libraries). There are many reasons why it's important for authors (trad and indie!) to work on building library demand for our books, and for all the writers who have asked me how to go about it, I've created a handy online course with all the info, tips, links, registration pages, list of distributors, marketing ideas and downloads you need to give you and your book the best chance at Australian library success. You can access the course at www.boldauthors.com - hope it helps you achieve your goals!</p><p><a href="https://www.boldauthors.com/courses/howtogetyourbookintoaustralianlibraries" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">boldauthors.com/courses/howtog</span><span class="invisible">etyourbookintoaustralianlibraries</span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/authors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>authors</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>libraries</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/amwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>amwriting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/authortips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>authortips</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>library</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/authorbusiness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>authorbusiness</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BoldAuthors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoldAuthors</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CreativeAustralia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CreativeAustralia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WritersAustralia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritersAustralia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/indieauthor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>indieauthor</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/indieauthors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>indieauthors</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/literarycommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>literarycommunity</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AuthorsAustralia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AuthorsAustralia</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/AustralianAuthors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AustralianAuthors</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AustralianAuthor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AustralianAuthor</span></a></p>
