Wholesale / Distribution

We love indie bookstores, pop-up shops, and other events promoting books. If you're interested in acquiring some of our titles at wholesale discounts, please review the terms below.

Terms

All of our in-print titles are available for wholesale pricing. Titles published between 2022 and 2025 are available from both Ingram and direct from us. Titles published 2026 and after are available from Simon & Schuster. You can review our release schedule here, or reach out to us via email (see below) if you have any questions.

We offer the following terms for direct wholesale:

  • 50% discount off retail price (Paperbacks and Chapbooks)

  • 35% discount off retail price (Hardcovers)

  • You pay actual shipping costs and any applicable sales tax/import fees

  • Returns are accepted within 180 days with the following conditions:
    1. books must be in resalable condition
    2. you pay return shipping
    3. we refund price paid for the books, but we do not refund original shipping charges

  • Payment is required in advance- we will send an invoice via PayPal

  • We can accept check as payment, but the payment needs to clear before we ship any items

  • Minimum order of 3 copies for each title

Some other items of note:

  • Because we manufacture our Chapbooks in-house and separate from our print-bound books, an additional shipping charge may apply if your order includes both chapbooks and print-bound books

  • For forthcoming titles, we typically do not have stock available until 90 days before release

  • Because our printer manufactures hardcovers and paperbacks at two different facilities, and hardcovers take slightly longer to make, if you order multiple formats your order will likely arrive in separate shipments

To Order Wholesale

Please email contact@shortwavepublishing.com

To expedite your order, please include titles, quantities, and your mailing address in the initial email.

Our distributor typically needs 3-4 weeks to fulfill wholesale orders. Please plan accordingly.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Please Note

Wholesale orders do NOT include any add-ons or accompanying extras. For example, the Killer VHS titles, when sold wholesale, do not include the custom shipping boxes or numbered Membership Cards. If you're interested in these bonus items, we can include those items for an additional charge.
