First off, thank you lots for considering picking up When the Background Buzz Subsides! Words cannot express my overwhelming gratuity for your potential reading. To express this precisely, I will be adding a special gift for the first 30 orders that use direct!
What's the easiest way for me to read a paperback?
Feel free to reach out at any time and I will set you up with a direct shipment with USPS! If you do not have my contact, visit the Extras tab.
Payhip is accepted and ultimately, preferred!
If a direct shipment through contact or Payhip is unfitting for you, we will have the paperback version available on Amazon.com. Expect to also find the paperback pre-order, alongside the exclusive hardcopy option, featured on the Barnes & Noble online store, by August 1st of 2026.
Why should I?
It allows your book to go directly from me to you, ensuring no hiccups. I want the package to have a personalized touch and this gives me that control. Ordering using this process also supports me the most as an independent creator. Third party distributors benefit significantly off of indie Authors and their readers. Engaging in intetionally built platforms like Payhip disallows this, supporting the artist and reader the most effectively. Additionally, all direct shipments leave the mailroom either same day or within 48 hours. This washes out the printing time compared to the other distributors, guranteeing a faster rate of delivery.
What if I am looking for the digital copy?
The best digital option is to order directly from Payhip, as their policies provide the most support. This will ensure you have full control over the file and no limit on usage, granting immediate access to your book.
What if I am unwilling to download Payhip for the digital copy?
You can reach out for direct dropbox through e-mail, allowing you to save the PDF to any of your preferred devices. Visit the Extras tab.
When the Background Buzz Subsides is available on Kindle, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Tolino, Vivlio, Smashwords, Gardners, and Fable for all readers who prefer these delivery methods for their eBook.
What if I am a library or a bookstore?
When the Background Buzz Subsides is featured in the Ingram Spark catalog for hardcopy and paperback, alongside Drift2Digital for eBook. Please reach out to me directly if you are willing to consign my debut novella at your store. This would be the most mutually beneficial, as we can experiment with the input as we go. I appreciate your consideration and for more contact information, visit the Extras tab.
When is it available?
Direct pre-orders will be available starting on July 1st of 2026 using direct contact. Pre-orders for e-Book are available on Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kindle, Tolino, Smashwords, Fable, OverDrive, Bookshop.org, Gardners, and BorrowBox as early as August 1st of 2026. Pre-orders for paperback and hardcopy are available on Barnes & Noble and Amazon storefront on August 1st of 2026. The launch date is September 1st of 2026 for all platforms, with a 2-week waiting window of September 14th for select retailers. Don't be surprised if you spot me on a random shelf somewhere!
Please do not hesitate to use the e-mail should any questions arise!
Yours most sincerely,
Sid Jo Clegg
DISCLAIMER: Please beware that there have been scam links reported during August at pre-order sale time. Do not click, use, or order from any links unless they are listed directly on this page. Bots and hackers will pirate books from databases, so please be careful! I would love to help you throughout the ordering process to ensure you are safe.
Unfortunately, I cannot control the prices on all distributors' sites. My base price for e-Book is $20.00, paperback is $20.00 (+$4.00 shipping direct, US only), and hardcopy is $24.00. Brands and stores will up my varying editions' base prices without my consent, so please be mindful of these discrepancies. Again, only use the links provided on this page, to ensure no bots occur. I highly recommend direct to ensure fair pricing.
Mistakes happen. If you discover any misprints or errors in your book, please notify if you would like a replacement. A replacement is guranteed if it is a known misprint on our behalf. We apoligize for any inconveniences, as the misprints are out of our control.
