No purchase orders needed – no out of pocket costs! We make it easier for you!
Author appearances and book signings are an important part of getting people excited about reading! While many schools and organizations like to offer this opportunity, some are having difficulties. GBS has made the option available where the school never takes possession of the books. Your organization sells the books for GBS, turns in 100% of the funds collected to GBS and if there are any excess funds collected, GBS will place a credit on your school account or return the excess to your organization in the form of a check.
Our Author Appearance Book Signing program takes a lot of pressure off you as an organizer. GBS will assist you in picking the best titles (your requests are always welcome), estimate the number of books needed for the event participants, and will deliver and pick-up books at no-charge (local delivery area only). Parents may have the option to pay with a credit card if your organization decides to accept that form of payment.
What we need from you; is 4-6 week notice date of the event, name of the author, number and grade range of participants, title suggestions, and volunteers. The volunteers will verify titles and quantities received, collect money and distribute books, and verify titles and quantities returned.
We realize this option may not be for everyone, so the traditional option is also still available (you select and order books, we invoice the book via purchase orders and you return unused copies for credit).
