Purchasing Books

Our books can be purchased:

From your local book store. Several stores in the Twin Cities area, including Micawbers and Magers and Quinn, have our books in stock. Your book store can also order from us.
From on-line stores, such as Alibris.
From our web site (shipping is free!). Look on each book's web page for the "Pay Now" button to pay by credit card. See our purchase page for payment by check.

Book Stores

As a new press, Whistling Shade has not yet arranged for a book distributor, and so we are distributing books directly. If you run a book store and would like to order books, please contact Joel Van Valin at admin@whistlingshade.com. The wholesale price of the book is 33% off the retail price. We can drop off books at stores in the Twin Cities within a day or two. We will ship to stores outside of the Twin Cities area (shipping free within the United States). We accept returns and will credit back 50% of the wholesale price.

Submissions

If you have a manuscript you would like us to consider, see our press submissions page. Note that we only consider manuscripts by authors previously published in Whistling Shade.
