At Newnan Book Co., we have always taken great pride in being a home for stories of all kinds. Over the years, we’ve been honored to meet so many talented local authors and help bring your work to the readers of Newnan.
For Local Authors
As our shop continues to grow, we find ourselves in a bit of a predicament. We are a small, curated space with limited shelf real estate. Currently, the volume of requests we receive from authors to stock their books has exceeded what our physical shelves can accommodate.
A New Direction for Local Titles. To ensure we are serving our local community as effectively as possible, we are shifting our focus to a reader-driven model.
Moving forward, Newnan Book Co. will prioritize carrying books based on direct customer demand.
What This Means for You. If you are a local author, this doesn’t mean your book can’t be on our shelves—it just means the "path to the shelf" has changed:
Direct Your Readers to Us: If you have a local following, encourage them to come into the shop or visit our website to request or order your book.
We Listen to Our Customers: When our readers consistently ask for a specific title, that is our signal to bring it into the shop.
Support Local: By directing your readers to order through us rather than a major online retailer, you are helping keep your local indie bookstore thriving while ensuring your book has a presence in our store.
Our Commitment. Our goal is to ensure that every book on our shelves has a reader waiting for it. By focusing on the titles our community is actively searching for, we can remain a sustainable and vibrant part of downtown Newnan.
We truly appreciate the passion and hard work you put into your craft. Thank you for understanding our need to adapt!
