Hello! And thank you so much for your interest in having your book in our store!

Please read all of this information before you submit you work.

 

First things first, we probably sell your book online. If you search for it and can't find it, that means there is a problem with your distribution (see below).

This form is only to have your book on our physical shelves, on which there is very limited space.

We only accept direct submissions of romance novels. If you write in a different genre, please check out one of the other great independent bookstores in Los Angeles. 

 

We read each and every submission that we recieve, however due to the volume of submissions that we recieve, we do not respond to every one. Generally, you will only hear from us if we decide to stock your book, usually in about 1-3 months. We do not read every book that is submitted to us, oh that there were enough hours in the day for that.

 

Things to note:

We do not carry books that are available for free online.

Your book must be available for us to order through major US book distributors. If you are self-published, in order for us to carry your book, it must be available for us to order on Ingram. No matter what platform you publish with, generally you need wide distribution settings to be enabled.

This space is for authors to submit their work directly. If you are a publisher/publicist/agent, you can email us directly with your latest catalogue.

 

Incomplete submission forms will be disregarded.

Please do not send books to the store unsolicited. We do not have time to read them and we don’t want anyone spending unnecessary money.

 

If you are interested in having an event with us, please contact our events coordinator Teresa at events@therippedbodice.com. We recommend sending a request 2-3 months ahead of your book release date.
