Are you an author?
We want to partner with authors at our brick and mortar store in Austin! If you’re interested in selling to us directly, contributing to our donation table, or participating in an event, please check out our forms below.
Sell to us directly: I’d love to purchase titles from you, directly, if you are interested. Full disclosure—it is easier for me and my staff to order from one place like Ingram. But I’m tired of corporations taking pieces of our pie without doing much for us in return, so I’m all for not even offering them any pie. At Flutter, we are committed to Authors First. We hope to build strong relationships with trad and indie authors, and if that means a little more work on our part so that you can get more from each book sale, then we’re here for that. If you have special editions, even better. I love special editions almost as much as BookTok does, and they’ll be prominently featured in Flutter. We’re also going to feature a lot of bookish art, so anything official that you’d like to add would be more than welcome. If you are interested in selling to us directly, please fill out the form below, and we’ll work with you to make that happen.
Let us promote you: When you start planning your next release, we want to support you. Signing event? Preorder incentives? Signed book shipping? Launch party? Exclusive merch? Done, done, done, done. You do not need to be local for us to partner with you. Because I know firsthand how important physical sales are to listing, I have a full-time staff member on-site at the store fulfilling orders every day.
For our part, we will feature you on our socials, in our newsletter, and in-store. We’re aiming to host at least two events a week, and can hold up to 50 readers in the store. For larger events, we are partnering with a nearby venue that can handle a couple hundred. If you want to partner with us for an event, please fill out the promotion form below. We are already scheduling events now so don’t wait to reach out.
Let us promote you more: Any customer who spends more than $75 in our store will be offered a free book from our Discovery Table. These books are provided by authors who want to get books in the hands of new readers. We would love to have some of your titles! Donated books will never be sold at Flutter. Donations will only be used as freebies. Please, do not send anything to us without an invitation. If you’d like to donate, you guessed it—there’s a form below.
