Thank you for your interest in The Kentucky Bookstore! We are proud to feature stories from Kentucky authors and books about our state’s history, people, and culture. Because our space is limited, we have created this submission process to help us carefully select titles that best fit our shelves and readers.
What We Look For
Books written by Kentucky authors or strongly tied to Kentucky history, culture, or setting. Genres our customers love:
- Fiction (Romance, Mystery, Southern/Appalachian, Christian Fiction from Kentucky Authors)
- Non-Fiction (History, True Crime, Memoir, Nature)
- Children’s (especially horse-themed and Kentucky-inspired
- Professionally printed and edited books
How the Process Works
1. Fill out our Book Submission Form (link below).
2. Submissions are reviewed monthly. We will contact you only if your book is accepted.
3. Due to high volume, we are unable to respond to every inquiry individually.
Wholesale Expectations
We purchase books directly from authors or publishers at standard wholesale terms, typically 40–50% off the retail price, with the author/publisher covering shipping.
