Requests for events or stocking your book
Congratulations on your book, and thank you for thinking of Brown Onion Books! We’re a small independent shop with limited shelf space, so we can’t stock every title or host every event. But we love hearing about new work, and we’ll consider every submission carefully.
Before contacting us, we recommend reading the excellent guide from The Booksellers Association for independent writers: Getting your book stocked in a high street bookshop – full of tips and guidance.
If you still feel your book is a good fit, please email hello@brownonionbooks.co.uk with:
• A brief synopsis of your book
• Why you think it suits our shop and community
• Any details about events, readings, or signings you’d like to propose
We’ll review submissions and get back to you if we feel we need more information. We try our best to respond within 7 days, but if you don’t hear from us in that time please assume your submission wasn’t successful on this occasion.
Thank you for understanding, and good luck with your book!
