Same books, bigger type. Every current Joanna Penn book for writers is available as a large print paperback: the complete, unabridged text set in 16-point type on larger pages with wider line spacing. They are for readers who prefer bigger print, readers with low vision, and anyone whose eyes are tired of screens after a day of writing. Libraries, writing groups and bookshops can order every edition through Ingram using the ISBNs below.
Buy direct from my own store, where each book is printed to order and shipped worldwide, or from Amazon. If you are an author wondering whether to publish your own large print edition, this article explains why and how I do it.

Ask your library to order them
Every large print edition on this page is available to libraries and bookshops through Ingram, so any public library in the UK, US, Canada or Australia can order it. Use your library’s stock request form or ask at the desk, and give them the title, the author (Joanna Penn), the words “large print edition” and the ISBN from the table above. One line is enough: “Please could you order the large print edition of Successful Self-Publishing by Joanna Penn, ISBN 978-1-915425-96-6.”
Large print questions
What size is the type?
16-point, which is the size the RNIB counts as large print, with wider line spacing than the standard paperback.
Are they abridged or updated?
No. Each large print edition is the complete text of the current edition of that book. When a book gets a new edition, the large print edition follows it.
Can I get them outside the UK and US?
Yes. My store ships worldwide and the books are printed to order, usually delivered within one to two weeks. Amazon stocks the large print editions in most of its stores.
Is there an audiobook instead?
Yes, I narrate my own nonfiction audiobooks. You can buy them direct or from the usual audiobook stores.
