In the fall, DRT Press will be conducting a co-op mailing to 1200 elementary school librarians, children’s librarians, and independent bookstores in North Carolina. You are cordially invited to participate!

We are looking for North Carolina authors, illustrators, publishers, or performers who want to advertise their books or services to schools, libraries, and bookstores across the state. Self-published authors are welcome, but since this mailing is primarily to the library market, all books must be available in hardcover format and must be available through a major library distributor, like Baker & Taylor, Ingram, Quality Books, or Follett Library Services. Books and performances should be suitable for elementary school-aged children.

Here’s how it will work:

You send us 1200 flyers/sell sheets/brochures. For best results, we suggest color, and by all means please use both sides to maximize the mailing. We will also need a check for $350.00 by August 30. This basically covers the cost of postage and materials.

We will mail your flyer, along with 5-6 other flyers, to our up-to-date list of 1200 school librarians, children’s librarians, and independent bookstore buyers across the state of North Carolina the last week of September. Flyers will be sent in a custom printed envelope with “North Carolina Authors, Illustrators, and Performers” clearly and attractively marked on the front. We will also include a cover letter explaining participants' status as North Carolina artists.

We will need a minimum of 3 participants (in addition to DRT Press) to go forward with the mailing. 8 or more will be split into two mailings. If we do not get the minimum number of participants all fees will be completely refunded.

Please contact us at editorial@drtpress.com for more information. We reserve the right to limit participation based on quality of publication, performance, or brochures.
