Planning to be in Seattle for AWP? We’re ready to host you in our Parlor! Whether you’re looking for a space to host a public book signing, a small group gathering (note: our Parlor comfortably holds up to 8 people), or some quiet time on your own, fill out this form and we'll be in touch to reserve your spot!

Our new location at 108 Cherry Street is less than a mile away from the convention center and we'll be offering extended hours (10am to 8pm) March 8-11 in order to give visitors and locals alike more opportunities to browse our shelves, connect with friends, and catch a moment of rest in our most comfortable of reading chairs. Bookings are available by the hour beginning at 11 AM and ending at 7PM, Wednesday March 8 - Saturday March 11. We’ll post a schedule for our public book signings on our website and share it out on our socials.

Regarding book sales: You’re welcome to bring your own books and handle your own sales, keeping all proceeds for yourself; OR you’re welcome to have your press send us a returnable stack of books and we will take care of book sales for you, keeping all proceeds for the store.

Additionally, if you're looking for a venue to host a reading, here are the names of a few businesses we're fortunate enough to share a building with:

Bad Bishop Bar: https://www.badbishopbar.com/

Cherry Street Coffeehouse: https://www.cherryst.com/

Beneath the Streets (Seattle underground tours): https://www.beneath-the-streets.com/

Saké Nomi (saké bar): https://www.sakenomi.us/

We can’t wait to see you during AWP!
