The other shelf is being stocked.
On our shelves
Independent books, and nothing else.

Why OtherShelf?
Independently published books deserve a bookshop of their own.
They won’t sit in a separate corner of a bigger shop. They’ll be the whole shop.
We want discovery to feel personal again: a recommendation passed between readers, a cover that makes you pause, a writer you’re glad you found early.
OtherShelf will give readers one dedicated place to find and support independent authors.
