Author Collaboration Policy
Effective November 2025 · Operated by Charmed Chapters Boutique LLC (Missouri)
At Pages After Midnight, we love partnering with independent authors to bring their stories to new readers. Our Author Collaboration program is designed to create meaningful connections between authors and our book-loving community through wholesale placement, co-branded projects, and event opportunities.
Partnership Overview
Collaborations may include:
- Wholesale or consignment book sales
- Inclusion in themed bundles or gift boxes
- Signed editions or limited-run merchandise
- Author spotlights, interviews, or social features
- In-store or pop-up event participation
Each collaboration is customized based on mutual goals, availability, and audience fit.
Pricing & Payment
Most collaborations operate on a wholesale purchase model, where Pages After Midnight buys books at an agreed-upon wholesale rate. In some cases, we may offer consignment partnerships, where payment is issued after books are sold. Terms, pricing, and quantities will always be confirmed in writing prior to listing or promotion.
Inventory & Returns
- For wholesale orders, books become property of Pages After Midnight once payment is complete.
- For consignment or event placements, authors retain ownership until sold.
- Unsold books may be returned to the author or, with the author’s consent, used for promotional purposes (e.g., giveaways or Blind Date with a Book boxes).
Marketing & Promotion
Collaborating authors may be featured across our marketing channels, including website listings, newsletters, and social media. We encourage authors to share collaborative promotions to help reach more readers and celebrate our partnership.
Agreement Duration
Author collaborations are typically active for a 6-month term, renewing automatically unless either party requests changes or termination with 30 days’ notice.
