Author Inquiries
We love supporting local writers and small presses. Because our inventory is curated, we review titles before adding them to the trolley.
If you’d like your book considered, please submit it through our Author Inquiry Form (linked here). This helps us keep submissions organized and ensures we receive all the information we need.
Please note: We receive many submissions and can’t accommodate every title. We review all inquiries and will reach out if your book aligns with our readers or events.
