A Letter to our Local Authors

Dear Author,

Congratulations on publishing a book! We appreciate the hard work, dedication and sacrifice it takes to bring a completed book to fruition. We want to celebrate and support you in bringing your efforts to fellow book lovers.

Stocking your book:

As you know, we are a small independent store and as you can imagine we receive an abundance of requests. If we had unlimited shelf space, we would carry multiple copies of all books ever written!

If you would like your book to be carried at Hummingbird, you are welcome to donate a copy to the store and we will put it in the Local Author section for at least three months. If it sells, then we will restock it, if is available from Ingram. We only buy books from Ingram.

Author events:

If you would like host a book event to celebrate an author, we welcome that opportunity. The store is available for author events on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday at 7 pm. There is a minimum requirement of guaranteed sales – usually of 30-45 books, depending on the price point of the book. If you are interested, please contact info@hummingbirdbooks.com.

Thank you,

Wendy Dodson

Owner, Hummingbird Books

Local Author Fair 2023

Our vision for Hummingbird Books is to be a gathering place for our community… and to celebrate authors, especially local ones! In September, we hosted our second Local Author Book Fair to showcase local authors and their important work. Authors had a chance to meet and connect with the community.
