Putting your book on bookshelves is tough when you are a self-published writer. Bookstores and libraries tend to favor working with publishers and distributors and will most likely shy away from dealing with independently published books, especially if they are non-returnable. Thus, your market will probably consist solely of people buying their copies online. Although the internet opens up endless opportunities, you might be losing those customers who enjoy buying their books personally. It is possible to develop relationships with the local stores, attend various book fairs, and host personal appearances; however, it will take additional time and effort. Authors going with Amazon Book Publishing Canada should keep that in mind.
