AuthorStock’s goals are simple…

For Christian Authors:

To give you a great online bookstore at an amazingly low listing price (only $1 per month per title), with quick, easy set-up, super easy fulfillment tools, and great ways to connect with readers.

Satisfaction Guarantee: Please let us know if you are not completely satisfied, and we will work to remedy your concerns. If we are unable to fix the problem, we will refund your money for the unused porton of your listing term. (We will return 100% of your listing fee within the first month, and we will prorate thereafter, giving $1 for each unused month remaining in the term).

Why you should be selling from your own stock here:

  • You already know that those huge retail sites will list your books for sale at a hefty sales commission per each and every copy sold.
  • You probably also know that they don’t do much to promote your book. What promotions get done are usually done by you, the writer.
  • If you’re like most Christian authors, you’ve longed for a good, simple, reliable online bookstore of your own, that’s easy to use, for both you and your readers, and free from any and all sales commissions.
  • But you also realize that creating your own e-store from scratch is a major headache, requiring complicated tasks such as programming code, figuring out shipping matrices and handling fees, calculating to offset for merchant account fees for accepting credit cards, etc. Such details are more work than most authors can bother with.
  • AuthorStock is your answer! We do all the heavy lifting and make it as easy as pie for you to get your own online bookstore for each title — and pay NO SALES COMMISSIONS!
  • Also, since you bypass those hefty sales commissions, you can then pass the savings on to your readers, potentially offering them better pricing, which results in more readers.
  • PLUS: Unlike other online distribution channels (where you never touch the book after its been bought), you now have the means to offer autographed copies to your readers. “Signed by the author” encourages more readers to buy.
  • Not only will you get great service from AuthorStock, you’ll also join a warm community of other Christian writers, and learn lots of tips about better writing, printing, publishing, promoting, and networking.
  • With NO sales fees (just a super-low listing fee of only $1 per month, per title) how can you afford not to sell out of your own stock on AuthorStock!? Sign up now!

For Christian Readers:

To allow you direct access to great Christian authors, thus saving you money while blessing the authors.

  • SAVE: You can buy straight from your favorite Christian authors for less. and dialog with them, too.
  • BONUS: Request an autographed copy (if your author provides that option).
  • BOOK CLUB: Learn more about your authors and their books (and share about them with others, too):
    • Access author blogs.
    • Post book reviews and read reviews by other readers.
    • See comments (and share your own comments) about authors.
    • Potentially dialog with your favorite authors in the AuthorStock Book Club forum.
  • Remember:
    • You are buying directly from your author, so he or she (not AuthorStock) is responsible for shipping your book(s) straight to you. That’s exactly why your author can autograph your book(s) before shipping (if he or she offers that service). Most authors do offer it, but see each listing’s details to be sure.
    • If you ever have any problem related to a purchase (such as a late delivery, wrong item, damaged book, no arrival, etc) then your author should be contacted directly. (AuthorStock is not a selling agent. We simply facilitate the connection between you and your author.)
  • Support great Christian authors directly!
    • No per-sale commissions go to AuthorStock.
    • AuthorStock is neither a selling agent nor a shipping service, so there is no middle man.
    • Authors give us a modest listing fee of only $1 per month, per title, to showcase their product and to provide them with their own online bookstore. This is true no matter how many individual copies an author may sell via the listing.
Note: AuthorStock’s site programming is currently being developed, and we expect to go live soon. Please check back a little later!
