Wanted: Authors with Books to Sell

Celerytree.com launched in November, had a tryout during the holidays, and is now ready to go after it big time. Go after what you ask? Authors!  Published authors with books to sell. Preferably print books, because although we have an ebookstore, Amazon's new KDP Select program is going to take a toll on it and all other online ebookstores everywhere. I post about that new development here.

But never mind, because Celerytree.com is an online village bookstore where you can purchase print books too, and support authors while doing so. Celery Tree gives 90% of sales to the author or publisher rather than taking the huge cut that some other online stores *cough Amazon cough* take.

If you want to learn more about Celery Tree during our Big Blog Tour, stop by these blogs and get in on the action! I'll be linking to each one daily as we go, and giving tidbits of information along the way. Also, I'll be standing by at karen@celerytree.com during the Blog Tour to respond to any questions you may have as you navigate the site.

  4. I have let one author friend of mine know about celetree.com. I will let the diabetes nurse/educator who runs our support group here know as well when I see her later this month. She writes and has published mysteries and I think spiritual or Christian books when she is not helping all of us diabetics in town.

  6. Many thanks to all of you who are helping to get the word out! I really appreciate it. I also am so grateful for those bloggers whose names you see on this list of events, because I can't imagine how dull it would be if it was me doing all the talking about Celery Tree!

  7. Yay!! A great justification to by print books again. I went into a bookstore on Saturday for the first time in ages and realized how much I missed it. I wanted to buy every print book in there.

  8. I'd love to help put with my print books, but I haven't been able to get around the issue with my publisher... sigh. But I'll be watching and wishing everyone involved the best of luck!
