Local Authors

Petals & Pages proudly supports our local Colorado authors, and our consignment program allows us to prominently feature local titles year-round. We expect that this program will lead to higher sales and more publicity for our local authors as well. 

To have your book considered for our consignment program, please send any marketing materials, blurbs, copy, or excerpts to emily@petalsandpagesofdenver.com. If your title is a good fit for Petals & Pages’ selection, we will be in touch to proceed as outlined below. Books promoting bigotry of any kind—including racism, homophobia and transphobia, misogyny, or ableism—will not be considered. Our consignment program is limited to Colorado residents or people who have strong and current ties to Colorado.

Petals & Pages will initially take up to 5 copies to stock in our local author section for a minimum of 3 months. During that time, we will contact the author as needed to stock more copies. At the end of the 3 months, the consignment will be extended or closed. 

For in-store inventory listing, there is a one-time, non-refundable fee of $20 per title (not per book). Your title will be displayed on our Local Authors table. 

The retail price of the book is set by the author and should be competitively priced at or below comparable non-consignment titles. Petals & Pages offers a 60/40 profit split with our local authors, with authors receiving 60% of the book profits per sale. For example, if a title is priced in-store at $20, the author receives $12 per book sold.
