Please be aware that the books are not returned to be resold. Amazon either destroys them or they get sold in a lot of other returns. Amazon loses nothing, only the authors do.

*edit to add: this post is aimed at people who are not likely on my page but might see it through sharing. MY readers would never do this. I’ve known most of you for over 10 years. You’re all awesome. 💖

So, in the past few weeks or so, maybe more, I’ve accrued a debt to the publishing company because of returns. Every time someone returns a paperback I get charged $5. I now owe $80 because of this and I flat-out don’t have the money to pay it.

This has never been an issue before. People
Might return one or two books a year, but I’ve had so many returns flood in this month that I’m basically paying for readers to use me as a library.

Please stop returning books you’ve read, unless there’s a good reason for it. Especially paperbacks.

Giving New Authors A Voice

The idea for Belton Cottage Publishing began in my creative writing class at university. I read so many great stories from my peers in that class and it was very disheartening to know that very few of them would ever get published. My professor saw my passion to help my classmates and suggested that I consider teaching (oh, what a scary thought!). My severe stage fright made that suggestion impossible, so I started thinking about opening my own independent publishing company. After a lot of research and training in editing, designing and (of course) publishing, Belton Cottage Publishing was born.

It is our mission to give a voice to the new and emerging author who needs a break and not able to self-publish for whatever reason. Our focused genre is Young Adult and will consider the sub-genres of science fiction, fantasy, romance, and mystery.
