Sell your book in our store

Congratulations on publishing your book! The next step is getting your book in front of readers. ThirdSpace plays an important role in the Black community of Cleveland and with the growing number of local authors seeking shelf space in the Reading Room we are happy to introduce our Indie Ink program.

  • Books must be professionally bound, ISBN-registered, and approved by our staff.
  • All books are sold with a 60/40 commission in favor of the author
  • The intial sign up fee is $50, this includes one live book event, prominent display of your book in store for 90 days, and the admin fee.
  • ThirdSpace Reading Room will reconcile inventory levels and payments quarterly.
  • At the end of each quarter you are able to extend your agreement for $25 or unsold books and final payment can be picked up 30 days after written notification of desired cancellation. 
  • After 30 days books become the property of ThirdSpace to sell, donate or destroy at our discretion.
  • Your books will be available for sale both in store and online.
