Author Events
We love working with Authors! The demand for Author Events at our bookstore has grown as word spreads of who we are and what we offer here at Spellbound. Availability for Author Events will vary month-to-month, as we tend to schedule several in-store events every month and we like a good themed event! Therefore, we are not able to fulfill all requests for Author Events. Please note: We plan for Author Events months in advance and spots fill up quickly, so if you'd like to be considered for an event, make sure to reach out with at least 3 months notice!
Local Author Events
Meet & Greets
This is a great option for a local author who wants to meet potential readers! During a Meet & Greet, Authors are set up with a table and chair inside of our store for two (2) hours. Guests can drop by during this time to meet the Author and purchase books. Authors bring copies of their books and are encouraged to bring merchandise and signage. Authors take payments at their table and keep 100% of all sale proceeds. There is a non-refundable reservation fee of $25.00 and sign-ups are required in advance.

Book Fairs
Our Book Fairs are very popular! Book Fairs are typically indoor at our location or are located off-site. Authors pay a reservation fee and share a table with another author for 3 hours. Authors keep 100% of all sale proceeds. We typically publish a Book Fair Interest Form every quarter, and use this form to reach out to authors for any book fairs we have scheduled. Make sure to follow us on our social media channels (mainly our Broadcast Channel on our Instagram!) to be notified when the next interest form goes up! We routinely add to our list of contacts, however, so if you missed the previous interest form call-out, email us to be added to our contact list.
Author Q&A / Book Signing Events
Throughout the year we host authors in-store for Q&A + Book Signing events. These events are hosted and managed by us and are typically planned months in advance. For these events, we tend to reach out to authors that publish books that appeal to our customer base, or that fit a certain theme we're going for. As mentioned above, we host several in-store events every single month, so availability for hosted author events is really dependent on how packed our schedule is! That said, if you'd like to be considered for a future Author Event with us, please email us via our contact form.
