Book Consignment Program for Florida Authors

September 2026 Update: We have modified the terms related to our stocking fee. As of September 2, 2026 a one-time stocking fee will no longer be required to join our Local Authors shelf. However, due to space limitations on our shelf, we will be revising the list of accepted genres and will be scaling back on the amount of approvals overall. All applications will be closely evaluated and we will respond to all requests within 14 days.

Please read all of the information below before contacting us and/or submitting an application.

Local Authors are encouraged to visit our Author Events page to learn about other ways they can partner with us.

About Our Book Consignment Program

We love working with indie authors! We have a dedicated Local Authors Shelf in our store featuring books by Florida authors. Our customers really enjoy browsing this shelf and shopping local! We feature this shelf once a month on our social media as new authors are added (see an example here).

Our Book Consignment Program is an arrangement between self-published and/or small press local Florida authors and Spellbound Bookstore to sell titles from our brick-and-mortar store for a specific period. Authors drop off book copies and are paid a consignment split for each sale after the consignment period ends (the author retains 60% of all proceeds).

To participate, authors complete an application. Additional details can be found in the application, and upon acceptance into the program. A link to the application is at the bottom of this page.

Please Note: At this time, we do not stock the following: 

• Children, Picture Books and/or Middle Grade Fiction/Nonfiction

• Historical Fiction

• Non-Fiction titles including: Memoirs, Self-Help, Religion/Spirituality, Travel Books, How-To's/Guides and/or Educational texts

• Story/Poetry/Anthology collections

• Books with AI-generated writing, AI-assisted editing, AI-generated cover art, etc.
  
  DISCLOSURE: Spellbound Books will do everything within its control to secure and protect books during the consignment period. Spellbound Books is not responsible for theft, loss, or damage to books consigned.
