AUTHORS

Please follow the protocols. We are not accepting emails regarding self-published material at this time. We examine emails between January and February. If you send an email we may not respond due to our busy season.

Congratulations on finishing your book. We know you are very excited to be published. Please understand we get numerous inquiries, and we also need to keep our customers happy by carrying the bestsellers for our area. Please read through the following information and adhere to our protocols.

NO WALK-INS ACCEPTED

NO SALES CALLS

DON’T BRING US COPIES OF YOUR BOOK. WE WILL REQUEST THEM IF WE WANT THEM.

We will consider any book – as we would a traditionally published one. The following is the information we receive from traditionally published authors and, therefore what we require from you in order to consider your book. 

Submission Protocol:

  1. Author Bio
  2. Book Synopsis
  3. How we order (from you/ingram/publisher)
  4. ISBN
  5. Retail Discount {Industry Standard Discount (40 to 50%)}
  6. Highlight relevant information i.e. are you local to Estes or Colorado or is the book set in CO

WE DO NOT CARRY CREATESPACE or INGRAM SPARK TITLES (WITHOUT A 40% DISCOUNT), SO IF YOUR BOOK FITS THIS CATEGORY, IT DOES NO GOOD TO SEND US ANYTHING.

WE DO NOT ORDER FROM AMAZON – THEY ARE A COMPETITOR.

We receive numerous requests each month. We look at them in January and February. We do thoroughly read submissions.

We will only reply if we are interested and it fits within those months. Some months we may be interested in buying your books, and other months, we will not. It is entirely at our discretion, and we will not provide any feedback to you. Again, this makes you the same as any author from a large press.

Do not send your email to us multiple times. It will not get us to respond more quickly or endear you. Do not call us. Use the information on this page to determine if you should reach out to us via email. 

We are less likely to consider your book if you do not include all the requested information on this page or if you contact us multiple times.

If we buy your book, we will contact you again if we want to buy more.

Author Signings

We have discovered store events are not highly attended. Those who succeed conduct a talk, read from their book, or walk around engaging customers. We do work in partnership with the library.

Due to low attendance, we only consider author signings by vetted authors (meaning you have been here before and proven your sales) or mainstream published books. If you are self-published, we will contact you if we want to host an event with your book.

Please use the Contact Us Page to send information. 

Thank You.
