First off, thank you to everyone for your support. It’s a scary time for everyone, and it means a lot to us that readers are ordering Tramp Press titles through our website, or from heroic booksellers, to support us and our authors.
We want to update you on all things Tramp, so let’s dive in:
Ordering Books
You can order from our shop and we will post your books as quickly as possible. Please note, however, that it could take a few days longer than it used to. There are regular updates to the An Post website about shipping restrictions. Drop us a line (lisa@tramppress.com) if you’re not sure.
You can also order from the wonderful people at Kenny’s Bookshop in Galway (free! shipping!).
Most bookshops have reopened. You’ll have seen on twitter that Bob at the Gutter Bookshop is picking and packing online orders all day and all night. Books Upstairs is open for business and taking orders over email. You can find them on Twitter and Instagram. You can also check out Eason, Charlie Byrne’s and Dubray, Waterstones, or your own local bookseller if they’re online. This is the time to support independent booksellers if you can.
Events
Stay tuned to our social media channels for updates about the many online events that our authors are participating in. In the meantime, you can check out some recent events at these links:
