Author Copies
Authors can purchase copies of their published books for launches, events, promotion, gifts, review outreach, and direct engagement with readers.
Author-copy pricing
Where author-copy purchasing is available for a title, authors receive copies at the applicable production/printing cost plus shipping and handling, rather than the ordinary retail price.
The exact amount depends on the edition, quantity, destination, production specifications, and applicable shipping arrangements.

Bring your book with you.
Authors often have opportunities to introduce a book in places that a publisher cannot reach personally. Author copies make it possible to have books available for conversations, events, professional contacts, and local communities.
Author copies are not a requirement to promote a book. They are an optional resource for authors who want additional copies for legitimate promotional or personal purposes.
Ordering and fulfillment
Author-copy orders are subject to the available production, shipping, destination, and fulfillment options for the particular edition. Prices and shipping arrangements may vary, so the applicable cost should be confirmed when an order is placed.
