Local Author Wholesale

The Book Cellar is pleased to support local authors by offering a local author wholesale program. This allows us to feature titles from self-published and small press authors. We will consider professionally written, edited, and produced books from authors living full-time in Abingdon, Virginia and a surrounding 30 mile radius. Books must meet our standards in terms of binding, appropriateness, and salability. 


Wholesale guidelines:

We do not accept inquiries over the phone or in-person. We are a very busy small shop so our in-store time is 100% devoted to getting our customers what they need. Please do not show up unannounced with your books; you will be directed back to this page.

Knowledge of our customer base and what appeals to them is a large component in our decision-making. For a better idea of what that might be, we highly recommend visiting us the next time you’re in town!

Up to two (2) copies per title will be considered for the initial period of 90 days. 

Prices for wholesale books will be determined by the suggested retail price provided by the author.

As part of the wholesale agreement, the author agrees to promote The Book Cellar (@thebookcellarva on social media) as a retail location at which their book(s) can be purchased. The Book Cellar is not responsible for the creation of any marketing for the author.

Please do not drop off copies of your book at our bookstore, unsolicited. You will be redirected to this page. Thank you!
