A Likely Story supports local authors through our direct purchasing program. Direct purchasing is available to local self-published authors and small publishers whose books are available through our distributors at standard terms. The main factors that determine whether or not we will carry a book are local interest, production quality, season, and shelf space. If your book was published through any of Amazon's services, we ask that you consider publishing any future titles through other platforms; Ingram Spark is a good option. Amazon is not merely a competitor of independent bookstores; it is a predatory competitor. Many of its anticompetitive practices are presently being challenged in court. 

The seller is the individual who is primarily responsible for delivering books, accepting payment, and acting as liaison with A Likely Story. Payment for book sales will be sent to the individual provided below. It is the responsibility of the seller to update the bookstore with any changes to contact information.
