March 13, 2025
Massive library lover here – as a reader and an author – so it was great sharing library learnings with Mark Leslie Lefebvre, Canadian author of thrillers, urban fantasy, paranormal, non-fiction, and books about writing and publishing. Mark has also worked as President of the Canadian Booksellers Association, was Director of Self-Publishing and Author Relations for Rakuten Kobo, and a Professional Advisor for Sheridan College’s Creative Writing and Publishing Honours Program.
What we cover in this episode for The Alliance of Independent Author’s Self Publishing Podcast:
  • The benefits for authors of having their books in libraries
  • Why libraries don’t take all books offered to them
  • Various methods of library distribution for print, ebook and audiobooks
  • How to give your book the best chance of being selected by librarians
  • What to do if you don’t get traction with libraries
