Independent Author Book Submission Policy
At Pages & Parcels, we love supporting independent authors and bringing unique voices to our customers. To ensure a smooth process, we have established the following guidelines for independent authors who wish to have their books available in our store:
Distribution & Availability
-
Availability through Ingram is preferred but not required. Books distributed through Ingram allow for a smoother purchasing and stocking process.
-
The bookstore prefers books that are not published through third-party publishers as they often do not offer sufficient wholesale discounts.
-
The book must be discounted at our standard rate (or greater) to align with our pricing structure.
-
Books must be returnable to be considered for stocking in our store.
Book Format & Quality Standards
-
The book must have a clearly visible ISBN on the cover or barcode area.
-
The title and author name must be visible on the spine for shelving purposes.
-
We aim to serve our customers' interests, and if a book does not align with their needs, we may need to evaluate further before making a final decision.
