Mac's Backs Guidelines for Writers :)
Please let us know when you have published your book. The best way to contact us is with an email to suzanne@macsbacks.com
Self-Published Authors:
We will consider stocking your book. Email the details. If you are distributing the book yourself we will ask you to bring a copy to the store.
Before you have self-published your work, please consult industry resources for best practices. The Business of Being a Writer by Jane Friedman, So You Want to Publish a Book by Anne Trubek and A People's Guide to Publishing by Joe Biel are good places to start.
We have also listed other ways you can educate yourself about publishing:
