For Authors
|
The easiest way for a bookstore to carry a
book is to order it directly from a publisher or from a distributor like
Baker and Taylor or Ingram. Many authors are not represented by
large publishing houses like Random House or Simon and Schuster, though.
If you are just getting started, and are
self-publishing your book or have used a vanity press like Authorhouse,
the first step is to see if a distributor will carry your book.
If your book is not carried by a
publisher or a distributor, fear not - lots of good books got their start
in independent bookstores such as ours. If you think you'd like to
give it a shot, e-mail Daphne Rivers, our consignments buyer at
daphne@left-bank.com, or call
her at (314)367-6731 Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. She'll
guide you through the process.
Before you call:
- We can only take a limited number of
books on consignment.
- Your book must be professionally bound
- no spirals or staples.
- Please do not drop in and leave your
book without making an appointment with Daphne.
- We reserve the right to "Just Say No"
to something we don't feel we can sell or does not fit our store.
