At The Book & Bottle Shop we are proud to support local authors in a variety of ways!
The two main areas we provide support are 1) hosting a Local/Indie Author Round Up annually in the spring, and 2) coordinating a Consignment-to-Stocking program.
The Local/Indie Author Round Up connects our audience and your audiences to one another to share in positive interactions. Spots are available on a first come first serve basis when sign ups are released early in the year.
The Consignment-to-Stocking program allows our store to field test specific titles before committing to purchasing copies.
The Book & Bottle Shop has a responsibility to cater our offerings and events to our customers' needs and tastes, and as such we cannot accept every request. We will always strive to honor the hard work and dedication that it takes to become an author and provide support in whatever ways we can.
Partnerships between local authors and independent bookstores are intended to be financially positive for both the author and the business. If sales are not expected, it is not reasonable for either party to force a relationship that will not yield the desired results.
If you have any questions while filling out this form, please contact the shop by emailing thebookandbottleshop@gmail.com using the subject line "Questions: Local/Indie Author Request Form". Our staff will be in contact with you once we receive your form with additional information.
