Publishing Rules Every Irish Author Should Know
The five rules and choices every Irish author faces, explained in plain English. Our team helps you navigate each step when you publish with us. .
ISBN per Format
The Nielsen ISBN Agency issues ISBNs for the UK and Ireland. Paperback, hardback, eBook and audiobook editions generally need separate ISBNs. We guide you through registration and help ensure the publisher details are recorded correctly.
Within 1 Month of Publication
Irish law requires publishers to deposit copies of books published in Ireland with designated libraries within one month. Self-publishing authors may have this responsibility. We can explain the requirements and help you plan the deposit process for your book.
VAT on Books
Qualifying printed books are zero-rated for VAT in Ireland. Eligible eBooks and audiobooks have also been zero-rated since 1 January 2024. We help you consider VAT when planning your euro retail prices, subject to applicable rules.
Two Ways to Print
Print-on-demand: Copies are printed when readers order, reducing the need to hold stock.
Short print runs: Order copies for launches, events and local shops. We can quote both options so you can compare costs and quantities.
Orderable by any shop
Distribution through services such as IngramSpark can help bookshops and libraries order eligible titles through their usual suppliers. We explain the available options and can advise on preparing a one-page sell sheet for approaching local bookshops.
