Welcome Authors!
Thank you for taking the time to check us out!
We love carrying local and independent authors. We receive emails daily (multiple a day, usually) from independent authors around the US looking to find bookstores to stock their work. The best way to contact us is to fill out the form below and tell us a bit about your book and yourself.
Quick notes:
We only stock books available on Ingram or directly through publishers. We are happy to work with indie and hybrid publishers, however we do not order from vanity publishers and do not offer consignment. We do not use KDP, and we will not purchase books from KDP/Amazon to stock in the store.
Generally, we use a standard 60/40 discount for books (we keep 40%). There is slight wiggle room to this rule available to local authors.
AI/Artificial Intelligence/ChatGPT etc:
We do not and will not stock books created by or in part with any version of AI. This includes the storyline, the writing, and the cover. We believe in artists, and this includes writers. Everyone deserves a chance for their work to be seen, and we believe the power in stories lies in the humanity behind the work. We want to uplift real, human voices, and real, human-made artwork.
There is no guarantee we will stock your book.
While we would love to have every book available and support every author, we are less than 500 square feet, and as such we are very carefully curated. If we are not the right fit for your book, another bookstore likely is!
If we don't reply to your email, it isn't a refusal- some days we get over 10 emails from authors and we simply do not have time to reply to every single one. If we feel your book is a good fit for our store, we will order it from the Ingram or publisher link provided.
Local authors are given special consideration.
