Thank you for considering hosting an event for one of Oceanview’s unique and talented authors. In this section you will find a list of frequently asked questions as well as an outline of Oceanview’s standard promoting practices for author events.

FAQ:

Q: Are Oceanview books returnable?

A. Books purchased through Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Midpoint or other major distributors may be returnable, however books purchased directly through Oceanview Publishing are not.

Q: What is Oceanview Publishing’s co-op policy?

A. As an independent publisher, Oceanview does not provide co-op funds for a signing event.

Q: What promotional materials does Oceanview have available for signing events?

A. For each signing event we will automatically provide you with an author photo, cover image, and basic press materials such as a press release or sell sheet. At your request we will provide additional materials such as an ARC when available.

Q: What type of event will best suit the author?

A. As each author has different strengths, it should be understood that each author thrives in a different event setting. Our authors have been known to do anything from a basic meet-and-greet signing to a talk-and-signing, to setting up their own giveaways to store patrons. Options can be discussed when scheduling an event.
