Author Submissions

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Lit Local author! If you're an author who lives within 50 miles of Asheville, we want to hear from you! 


There are two options for inclusion in Lit Local's mini bookshops, depending on the publishing track of your book: distributor and direct ordering.

Distrubutor ordering

If your book is published by a traditional publisher, available through Ingram, and we decide to carry it, it will be purchased directly from the distributor. In this case, please send an email at info@litlocalbooks.com notifying us of your book's publication. 

Direct ordering

If your book is self-published, published by a small indie publisher, or otherwise not accessible through our regular channels, we may offer to purchase copies directly at 70% of the retail value. Due to the size of Lit Local carts, we cannot accept all submissions.


To submit your book, please email info@litlocalbooks and include your contact information, book title, and ISBN, as well as any publicity plans, target audience, and connections to the local literary community. You will be contacted if Lit Local determines your book is a good fit.  Please note that, in an effort to streamline, ordering happens once per month; therefore, it may take a few weeks to hear back. Your patience is appreciated. 


Thank you, and we look forward to receiving your submission!
