FAQs - Evensong - Notes from the Choir
Is this just another QuireMemes parody?
No! It's a real thing that exists. No, it's not a windup - though you are forgiven for thinking it might have been.
When was it published? I need this in my life!
It was published on Bank Holiday Monday 21 April.
Where can I buy it? What if I don't live in the UK?
Paperbacks and eBooks are sold via Amazon, published through our own Quires and Places imprint.
etc... Check your local Amazon!
What if I don't want to use Amazon?
This is a fair question, and one I've wrestled with.
Paperbacks and eBooks are published through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.
Hardbacks however are being published through IngramSparks, which also ensures the book will be available for wholesale purchase by other booksellers (see Barnes & Noble above). If you want to see it in your local bookshop - please let them know about it!
Slightly longer detail: while traditional publishing is significantly preferable, the niche-ness of the subject has made publishers wary (despite being reassuringly complimentary about the contents of the book). Self-publishing, or vanity publishing, is risky, expensive, and time-consuming, none of which is ideal or, to a practicable degree, possible. The middle-ground is print-on-demand, followed (ideally) with traditional publisher pickup. For now, this combination of Amazon and IngramSparks is a realistic solution.
Paperbacks are also available separately through our website, and at the official launch on Wednesday 14 May.
Hardbacks are also available at:
AUS
Booktopia
Netherlands

Do you anticipate your book fanning the flames of any particular choral/liturgical schisms? Should we take sides now? Will you be selling stickers/badges/buttons/pins accordingly?
Oh, quite possibly.
