Will my self-published book with AuthorHouse be returnable?

Many bookstores don’t stock new titles because they don’t want to be stuck with unsold inventory. But booksellers are more likely to stock your book if the title is returnable. At AuthorHouse, we give you the option of making your self-published book returnable.

If you choose to participate in the Booksellers Return Program, your book will be classified as returnable in Ingram’s and Baker & Taylor’s Title Databases, and bookstores can order your title with the ability to return any unsold copies. Your book will be returnable and you will continue to receive your full royalty on every purchase. If unsold copies of your book are returned, you will be given the chance to buy the books at a discounted price.

This program supports your marketing efforts and makes your book more attractive to book sellers and retailers. Because most titles offered by self-publishing companies are not returnable in retail stores, this program gives AuthorHouse authors a distinct advantage when selling and promoting their book.
