Give permission for others to use your book in a Storywalk and/or have your book created into a Storybook Walk Edition by the team at StorybookWalk.com.
Give Permission:
When librarians or teachers decide that they want to use a book for a Storybook Walk, they first try to contact the author/publisher to see if they are okay with them using their book. This is a tedious process and can end up taking weeks waiting for a response.
Authors and publishers can help speed up this process, by giving permission to use their books in Storybook Walks. If you fill out the form below, and your books are accepted, they will be added to StorybookWalk.com’s list of Storybook Walk books. Do to the volume of submissions, we may not be able to respond directly to every submission. We apologize for any inconvenience.
We support indie publishing and hard-working authors and illustrators. We do not accept books that have been created using clip-art or AI. In addition, we will try to avoid books that have been printed using a vanity press.
Create a Storybook Walk Edition of your book:
You’ve see our DIY Storybook Walk Editions and our 11 x 17 Ready-to-Use Editions. If you would like to do the same with your book, then please do the following:
Send an email to Kelley@StorybookWalk.com (or use the contact button below) with the subject “Make my book into a Storybook Walk” along with a message explaining why you think that your book would make a great Storybook Walk and a link to where we can view the book or some of its pages. If we think your book would be a good fit, we will set up a Zoom call to discuss the process and fees. Here is a brief run down of basic costs.
Price for service*
Normally, the costs are $899 per title for a DIY Storybook Walk Edition and include: Consultation, Storybook Walk book interior template, Storybook Walk cover template, prompt writing service, one-time payment for initial license, and set up fee to sell on StorybookWalk.com. You will need to submit your own ISBN. We are not responsible for printing. Files will be given upload ready for platforms like KDP or Ingram. You may also print using an offset printer of your choice. You will be responsible for sending StorybookWalk.com copies to sell in store on consignment.
You will need to add $100 for a Ready-to-Use Storybook Walk Edition Template in 11 x 17. This is a great idea, especially if you would like to have your book in a permanent Storywalk display which is outdoors. We offer a printing service for the Ready-to-Use Storybook Walk Edition laminated in size 11 x 17. You do not need to print in bulk. If you are accepted into our catalog, then you will also be given royalties for all Ready-to-Use Storybook Walk Editions sold through us.
*For detailed information on all services rendered and costs, you will need to have a signed personal license and service agreement. The information above is only for informative purposes to show what may be possible and may change.
We are currently only able to do contracts within the United States.
If you do not hear from us within two weeks, then we have decided not to take on your book at this time. Please do not be discouraged. We are a small team and can only handle so many books (and emails) at once.
