We love supporting local authors and discovering new books to share with our community! If you're a local author interested in having your book considered for our store, please review our guidelines below before submitting your inquiry.
How to Submit Your Book for Consideration
We receive many requests from authors, and while we’d love to carry every book, we have to be selective based on space, demand, and industry standards. To be considered for our shelves, your book must meet the following criteria:
Relevance to Our Readers – We prioritize books that are of interest to our community and customers.
Professional Binding – Books must be professionally bound with a printed spine (no spiral binding).
ISBN & Barcode – Your book must have an ISBN and a barcode for scanning.
Competitive Pricing – Your book’s price should be consistent with similar titles in its genre.
Distributor Availability – We prefer books available through major distributors like Ingram or a traditional publisher. If your book is only available through self-publishing platforms, we may consider it on a consignment basis.
If your book meets these requirements, please complete the Local Author Inquiry Form below. Due to the volume of submissions, we cannot guarantee placement, but we review every request.
📢 Important Notes:
We cannot accommodate phone calls or in-person inquiries without an appointment.
Books mailed or dropped off without prior approval will be considered free review copies and will not be returned.
We give preference to books from authors who are engaged in our store and local literary community.
