For Authors
Want to See Your Book on Our Shelves?
We love connecting readers with incredible stories—and that includes yours. If you're an author interested in having your book sold at Da Book Joint, we welcome submissions that align with our mission of promoting Black literature, diverse voices, and meaningful storytelling.
To be considered, your book must:
-
Fit within our store’s overall curation and values
-
Have a visible, professionally printed spine (no staple-bound books)
-
Be a title that readers are actively seeking or excited to discover
-
If your book fits the above criteria, we’d love to hear from you! Submit your book info using the form below, and we’ll be in touch if we believe it's a fit for our shelves.
