Sell Your Book With Us!

Dear Independent Author, 

Thank you for reaching out to Avant-garde Books, LLC. Congratulations on your literary accomplishment. We look forward to supporting you as you strive to share positive messages and images for children of color. Below are several ways we can help you. Please email us at avantgardebooks@gmail.com if you have any questions. 

Wholesale Purchase

Avant-garde Books operates like other retail stores. We do not sell on consignment. We purchase wholesale and reserve the right to determine the retail price. For people who are new to the business side of things, here’s an example to help you understand: Walmart buys all its products at a wholesale price. Every time a person shops at Walmart, the store makes a profit. The manufacturers (and wholesalers) make a profit when Walmart purchases their products. In other words, in business, profits are shared. 

If we cannot afford your wholesale price, don’t worry, we can support you in other ways. (See below.) However, before we make an offer, we will need a sample copy of your book. Give us at least one month for a response to your inquiry. 

Children's Books (Paperback)     Children's Books (Hardcover)

$5.50 - $7.00                                               $7.50 - $9.00

Self-help/Novels/Memoirs/Other (Paperback)

Free Promotion

We would love to share information about your book on social media as well as with our contacts. This is absolutely FREE. Please email us a JPEG of the front cover (at least 400 DPI), a short book description, a picture of you (optional), and all your social media handles so we can tag you when we do posts. 

Book Signing

Please email us about available dates and times for a book signing. Carefully read the details that we send to make sure it’s something you would like to do. The cost is $15.00 for three hours. You must create your own flyer that we will gladly share with our contacts.
