Become an Independent Usborne Partner
Running your own business requires hard work, enthusiasm, tenacity and a willingness to try new things, but it will never be more complicated than putting the right book in the right reader’s hands.
Every Independent Usborne Partner’s adventure starts with a box of books and an empty diary. What happens next is up to you – it's your story. You get to make it as fun, rewarding and enjoyable as you want.

Real life stories
-
Usborne allowed me to believe in myself and build my confidence. I realised that stepping out of my comfort zone was what I needed to see the best version of myself. All this by being there for my family while running my own book business.
-
Usborne has allowed me to be there for all of my little boy's milestones while also funding his activities and adventures. Supporting my family while promoting reading for pleasure is truly rewarding.
