local authors
neighbor books is excited to partner with local and regional authors.
however, because we are a small, independent operation ourselves, we cannot accommodate every request we receive. nor can we dedicate shelf space to carry the titles of unsolicited local authors in our store.
instead, we invite writers to visit our local author's table on an agreed-upon date for a specific length of time so that they can sell and sign their books in-store.
we are looking for authors who...
- are local to the mckinney area
- fit neighbor's brand and culture
- can promote the event.
if this sounds like you, please see and fill out the application at the form here.
*NOTE: we are a very small team juggling a handful of operational complexities. please do not send us follow-up emails or additional inquiries. we check the application form on a regular basis and we will reach out if we are interested in following up. thank you for understanding.
