Thank you for your interest in having your book on the shelves at Curious Iguana. We are a small bookstore and must balance an overwhelming number of requests from local authors with available shelf space and our customers’ interests. Preference is given to recently published books with broad appeal.
Please carefully review our criteria before completing and submitting the form. If we are interested in stocking your book, we will be in touch with you. Please, no phone or walk-in inquiries. If you have questions, please email

Also, please note we do not handle marketing for local and self-published authors. All marketing, promotion, and advertising of books should be done by the author including social media. Curious Iguana will not offer special shelf or display space for any local author publication.

After one (1) year, titles that have not sold will be pulled from our shelves and donated.
