Contacts

ALLi connects with book fairs, booksellers, distributors, literary festivals, self-publishing services, and rights buyers on your behalf. In addition, we have close partnerships with Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Google Books, IngramSpark, Kobo, and a wide range of other approved self-publishing services.

We also have an active watchdog desk that produces ratings and reports about the best and worst publishing and self-publishing services.

Rights Licensing Services

A rights desk, rights reachout service, and dedicated literary agent focus on helping our qualifying members to selectively license and sell their translation, TV, film and other rights.

Member magazine

The Indie Author is our quarterly member magazine, packed with information, advice, news and views, and interviews with our members.

Member database

Be listed in our searchable ‘Find an indie author’ member database, trawled by literary festivals, event organizers, journalists, publishers, literary agents and online retailers in search of successful indie authors.
