The Access Files

The Access Files

Practical tools, guides, and resources for authors, illustrators and content creators.

The Access Files is a growing series of books and tools designed to help indie creators navigate the publishing systems no one talks about:

• library distribution, 

• metadata, 

• public lending rights, 

• outreach, and

• long-term visibility. 

Whether you're self-publishing your first picture book or managing your backlist across multiple platforms, this series breaks down the steps, demystifies the jargon, and gives you clear actions that lead to real results.

From how to get your book into libraries to tracking your submissions, The Access Files focuses on making the publishing process transparent, strategic, and slightly less soul-crushing.
