For Authors

Thank you for your interest in Book and Paper carrying your book. Our selection of books is very carefully curated with our local customers in mind. Through our publishing suppliers we are offered many (many!) titles and only select about 5% of what is available. Therefore our criteria for any self-published books are as follows:

• The author must be local to Williamstown or immediate surrounding areas
• The book and its content must be pertinent to our community (non-fiction only)
• The book must be newly published, ideally no more than 6 months old
• The book must be packaged properly: We look at price, writing & editing quality, cover design, binding, and the general packaging. We do not accept books that do not have the title and author on the spine (no spiral binding)

Please bear in mind we receive multiple requests every month, so it’s not always possible to accommodate every author. Requests are reviewed on a monthly basis and you should have a response within 28 business days.
