Wholesale for Authors
Interested in getting your books on our shelves?
We are too!
Check our wholesale program details below to make sure it's the right fit for you then submit the quick form linked at the end of this page. We're excited to check out your book!
A Bit About Us
- We’re a comfy and cozy space - imagine a maximalist queer living room full of soft imagery and well-loved queer stories. We're a small bookstore tucked inside the cute gift shop, gallery space, and tattoo studio that is Sonny's House. If you haven’t yet, come visit us in person!
- We prioritize local authors but accept submissions from queer authors all over!
- For the sake of this application we’re defining books as bound manuscripts with a titled spine. If you believe your work is more of a zine please check out our Artist and Zinester application.
- We support the creativity and hard work of authors and artists and will not accept any AI-generated writing or cover art.
- We only carry queer-centered stories with a wide range of rep, and tend to gravitate towards speculative fiction with happy endings (no burying our gays here!) Because we’re also a tattoo studio, our audience tends to be adults who are looking for adult and YA stories.
Submission
- Feel free to submit the info for one or multiple books in the form linked below, please note that submitting this form doesn't guarantee acceptance.
- Currently we are able to carry returnable wholesale books from publishers and distributors like Ingram.
- Providing an ARC is not required for submission or acceptance, but having read your book greatly increases our ability to handsell it! If you’re interested in sending us an ARC, the electronic book(s) or first few chapters can be uploaded in the application form or emailed to honeyedwordspdx@gmail.com and physical ARCs can be sent to:
