Booksellers and Trade
Working together to bring good stories to readers
At Dimblehouse, we believe bookshops play an important part in helping readers discover new authors, new worlds and stories worth remembering.
As an independent publisher, we’re keen to build lasting relationships with booksellers and make working with us as straightforward as possible. We offer competitive trade terms, prompt direct dispatch and a personal approach to every order.
Whether you’re looking to introduce one of our titles to your shelves or build a wider selection, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
Ordering our books
Our titles are available through the usual book-trade ordering channels, including MVB Teleordering. You can also order directly from Dimblehouse.
We hold our own stock and dispatch directly from the publisher, without unnecessary handling or additional distribution stages. This means we can respond promptly to orders and provide a direct point of contact if you need assistance.
Direct orders are subject to a minimum of three copies. You are welcome to mix titles within an order, making it easy to introduce more than one of our books to your customers.

If you would like to discuss a particular order or arrangement, we’re always happy to talk.
Building relationships
We’re not simply interested in supplying books and moving on. We want to build genuine, lasting relationships with booksellers who share our enthusiasm for good writing and discovering stories that deserve to be read.
As a small independent publisher, we can offer a personal point of contact, straightforward communication and a flexible approach. We welcome conversations about stocking our titles, local events, author appearances and other opportunities to introduce our books to new readers.
We value working with booksellers of every kind, from independent shops to larger chains, and want Dimblehouse to be a publisher that booksellers enjoy working with.
