Are you a Jacksonville or Northeast Florida author interested in having your book considered for our shelves? Happy Medium Books Café reviews submissions from local, emerging, and established authors. Selection depends on customer interest, genre, available space, pricing, and ordering options. Placement is not guaranteed. If your book is not selected, please know we respect your talents and hard work.

Your books:

• Should be discounted at our regular rate with Ingram (Ingram Spark as a paperback distributor) or another approved distributor
• Must have a visible ISBN, as well as, the book title and author name on the spine
• At an author event or BookTalk, books will be sold at the designator distributor price, unless other arrangements are confirmed
• Are assigned a designated genre and may be seasonally highlighted and placed on our shelves at our discretion; BookTalks may include writing classes by an author
• Submit your request via the Event + Author Inquiry Form.  A team member will get back you once the form is completed.

We are proud to support Jacksonville’s local arts community by showcasing artwork throughout our our bookstore and event space.

Artwork in our event space is curated by Jacksonville Artists Guild (JAG) and The Art Center Cooperative (TAC), while our Mini Art Gallery is curated by local artist Teresa Cook.

Artists interested in exhibiting their work are encouraged to connect directly with the appropriate curator for information about upcoming opportunities, availability, and submission guidelines.

If you are an artist who would like to sell your art at an upcoming event, please complete the Vendor & Community Partner Interest Form.

We look forward to continuing to celebrate local creativity and bringing art, books, and community together!
