Why pre-order

What ordering early actually does.

01

The release date is protected

Pre-orders let us confirm print quantities and audio delivery slots before publication week, so a title arrives on the day it was promised.

02

Retail visibility on day one

Orders placed early accumulate against the release date, which is what retail charts and recommendation engines actually read.

03

Fixed price at order time

You pay the price shown when you order. If the retail price falls before release, retailers we work with honour the lower figure.

04

Territory and format clarity

Each listing states the edition, language and territory it covers, so readers and rights buyers order the correct one.

Authors

The writers behind the list.

Every forthcoming title is attached to a named author with a public profile, not an anonymous listing.

Edward Avanessy

Edward Avanessy is a novelist working at the meeting point of crime fiction and spiritual enquiry. His storytelling is built around ordinary people placed under extraordinary pressure, and the decisions they make when no one is watching.

Payment is taken by the retailer, not on this site. Where a payment step is added in future it will be handled by a certified provider and stated clearly before you commit.

Questions

Pre-order questions, answered.

When am I charged for a pre-order?

Payment is handled by the retailer, not by us. Most retailers charge at dispatch or on the release date rather than at the point of order.

Can I cancel a pre-order?

Yes. Cancellation is available through the retailer you ordered from, at any point before the title is dispatched or released.

Will there be an audiobook or translated edition?

Where an audio or translated edition is confirmed, it is listed as a separate format on the title's page. Editions still in production are marked as such rather than promised.

How do I hear about a release?

Join the release announcement list on this page. We write only when a date, format or territory is confirmed.

I am an author with a forthcoming book. Can it be listed here?

Yes, once a publication date and edition details are agreed. Write to the editorial desk through the contact page and we will take it from there.

Stay informed
