Book Launches and Events – North & South America

Although the economics of specialist, academic publishing do not allow for launch parties, Boydell & Brewer Inc is delighted to support authors and editors wishing to organize their own events.

Scheduling


We recommend scheduling your event 3-4 weeks after your publication date. Supply chain difficulties can occur unexpectedly at any time and delay the availability of stock.

Ordering


Authors may purchase books at www.boydellandbrewer.com with their 50% author discount. Please note that books purchased at this discount rate are non-returnable. Beware of over-ordering; sales at events are typically below 25% of the number of attendees. Keep in mind that virtual events tend to have a lower number of actual attendees than registrants.

Please place your order six weeks in advance of the event to ensure availability of stock.

Selling Books


You may sell the books you have purchased for whatever price you wish, though we recommend offering a discount. If you request discount leaflets to distribute at your event, we can match discounts up to 20% for paperbacks and 35% for hardcovers.

Do not collect credit card information, as it is subject to strict privacy regulation. Payment should be provided to you only through cash, check, or other secure means.

Make the most of your event!


We strongly encourage you to spread the word about your author events through email and social media. Please let us know in advance so that we can help promote it online. We would also be very happy to post photos from the event on social media afterwards.

Please Note


Please do not give away copies for review unless agreed in advance with Marketing, as it may duplicate our efforts.
