For Authors - Signings at The Twig

The Twig Book Shop hosts local, national, and international authors who have a community or fan base in the San Antonio area. We host two types of signings: Sit & Signs on Saturday and Sunday mornings during the Farmer’s Market, and Readings during weekday evenings. For both types of signings we provide event space, book processing and sales (including tax), and marketing support.

The demand for having signings at The Twig has increased to the point that dates are currently scheduled months in advance. We will do our best to accommodate the dates you prefer.  If you are interested in having an event, read the Event Offerings at the Twig form below. Then check the Event Calendar for available dates and fill out the Online Event Request Form.

Depending on the publisher, The Twig Book Shop can order books directly from the publisher, or the author may provide the books on a consignment basis, which is a common industry practice for self-published or small press authors.  Generally speaking, authors who self-publish bring their own books to be sold on a consignment basis.  Our specific niche includes local authors and/or authors who have a community of readers in the San Antonio/South Central Texas region.  

If you would like for us to consider selling your book on consignment, fill out the Consignment Policy and Form linked below under Files and deliver one copy of the book to The Twig Book Shop in a large envelope marked “ATTN: Consignments” along with the form and a $20 check for handling fees made payable to The Twig Book Shop. We will review your book and respond via email. Please include a self-addressed/stamped envelope if you would like us to return your sample copy. Books delivered without appropriate return postage will be donated or destroyed.

In the documents at the bottom of this page, you will find our Consignment Policy form, more details about the types of events we offer, and our media kit, which includes directions to our store, our logo, and a media contact list.
