Ordering Books
For Retailers, Librarians, Academics, and Special Sales
Retailers and libraries can order our books directly from Ingram Book Group (print) and OverDrive (ebooks). Most of our books (excluding limited editions) are set at a standard discount and are completely returnable. If you would like an electronic galley to review for consideration, email us.
Academics and educational institutions considering a book for course adoption can receive a free desk copy. Email us to arrange it. We offer amazing resources to professors who adopt a book for a course: 1-3 complimentary desk copies, group discounts for student copies, supplementary materials (interviews, book reviews, other writings by the author), and a reading/talk with the author (in person or over Zoom).
Special sales should email Unsolicited Press directly at sales@unsolicitedpress.com for information on discounts. We provide extensive discounts to bulk orders.
For Book Reviewers and Influencers
If you would like a review copy, please email us with the book you'd like to review and your plans for publishing that review. We only supply print copies to reviewers who guarantee a review. If you are thinking about reviewing a book, but haven't decided, we will happily provide you an e-version of that book.
Booking Authors for Events and Media
We assist all our authors in securing readings, interviews, speaking engagements, and any other public appearances. If you're a journalist, podcaster, TikToker, Instagrammer, bookseller, or festival manager interested in booking one of our authors, just shoot us an email with the details. We’ll coordinate with you or connect you directly with the author!
Partnership Opportunities
Unsolicited Press stands out as a small press that operates much like a nonprofit, channeling all profits back into the press to advance our mission: to publish and uplift voices that exist outside the realm of commercial literature. We elevate the marginalized, the unsung, and the underdogs. Our press firmly opposes the bureaucratic barriers in the publishing industry that keep presses and authors struggling, such as steep discounts, perpetual return policies, and bookstores charging reading fees.
There are numerous ways to collaborate with Unsolicited Press, depending on your goals.
BOOKSTORE PARTNERSHIPS
Are you an indie bookseller eager for a direct line to more readers? We’re always on the lookout for independent bookstores ready to sell our books and host readings for our authors. We firmly believe that if small presses and indie bookstores team up and treat each other right, we can build a loyal audience that supports grassroots literature instead of those giant corporate monsters. If you’re stocking our books, shoot us an email, and we’ll promote your store like it’s our mission! We know running a bookstore is tough as nails, so our authors can read in-person or virtually to help you move those books. Let’s get this party started!
SPONSORSHIPS
We only team up with the most professional, ethical, and trustworthy companies out there. Plus, we only accept sponsorships from businesses offering products and services directly tied to writing, literacy, publishing, and author support. Think of sponsorship as a partnership where you help us, and we help you. It’s a win-win for companies looking to connect with our authors and readers because you have something valuable to offer—whether it’s writing workshops, PR services, book clubs, author support, educational opportunities, or other industry-related gems. Shoot us an email if you want to chat more about this!
