One of my greatest joys as a blogger is working with a new and upcoming Author to help promote there books. When I found out a Writer was in Kroger’s last week I reached out to her and will have the opportunity to meet her in a couple weeks.
I can’t wait to follow the Facebook page her so I can meet other Authors and check out there books in person. Especially children’s book for my niece and nephews as well as Romances for me to read. If you have a book out and need a place to be seen check out this page here.
We are in Kroger, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, City Market and Frys Food and Drug Stores
This program partners with local grocery stores to give Independent Authors a venue to hold book signings and sell their books to customers during the book signing. Authors set up a table inside the store and sell to passing shoppers.
How does it work?
The Author packs in what they need; Table, chair, decorations, books, etc. Next they greet customers and promote their book. When a customer wants a book, the author signs it, the customer then brings it to the register. The cashier scans the bar code, the shopper pays. The author is paid 2 weeks later from the program. Simple as that.
Authors can set up shop any day of the week, but the most popular days are Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Weekday Prime times are between 3:00pm – 7:00pm and Weekend Prime times are between 9am to 5pm Saturday and Sunday 12pm to 6pm. Authors can set up whatever day works best for their schedule if they so choose. If an author is having a booming sales day, they may stay longer than they are scheduled as long as the manager does not mind. Interested?
A Message from our President
THE NATIONAL AUTHORS IN GROCERY STORES PROGRAM WAS STARTED 20 YEARS AGO SO THAT SELF-PUBLISHED AUTHORS WOULD HAVE A PLACE to SELL AND SIGN THEIR BOOKS. TO DATE, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TITLES HAVE BEEN SOLD AND WHILE WE EXPAND ACROSS THE NATION, WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING MORE AUTHORS TO OUR HUMBLE PROGRAM.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
