The Loganberry Books Local Author Program offers 3 different options:

Tier 1: Consignment $25.00

This option is our basic consignment tier, where we will take 3-6 copies of your book, to be replenished as necessary during a 90-day period. Books are shelved under Local Authors, displayed face-out, and cross-listed as we see fit. Loganberry Books will reconcile inventory levels and payments quarterly. The Consignment Agreement is renewable, or unsold merchandise can be picked up. Authors will have 2 weeks to pick up extra stock after being notified that their books have been pulled from the sales floor. Books not picked up within the indicated time frame will be discarded or donated.

Tier 2: Book Signing $50.00

This tier includes the same consignment agreement as outlined above, with a scheduled 90-minute book signing at Loganberry Books. Events are co-marketed by the Author and Loganberry Books. The event will be listed on the Loganberry Books website and included in our e-newsletter, which is emailed to over 5000 customers. Promotional posters will be on display throughout the store and a prominent display of the book will be scheduled for 3 weeks prior to the event. The book signing event is held during Loganberry’s regular business hours, typically on Sundays. Authors will be provided a table and space to meet and greet customers.

Tier 3: Book Launch/Presentation $150.00

A great way to launch a new book, this option includes the same consignment and co-marketing agreement, with a 60-90 minute presentation and food options. The presentation can include a formal introduction, a talk about the book, a reading excerpt, interactive activities, and questions from the audience. Loganberry Books will set up chairs to accommodate 30-50 people in the LitArts room (standing room is also available). 

This format allows ample time to mingle with attendees and sign books, and to enjoy light snacks and refreshments. Loganberry Books can provide cheese & crackers and basic drinks, or the Author can choose to have the event catered, following Loganberry guidelines. Further personalization of the event is also permissible, with approved menus, décor, or other activity plans.
