Where do I find new events?

Head to Events / Upcoming Events to find all the amazing authors coming our way.

Why are some events ticketed while others are free?

Events may have a ticket cost for a few reasons:

  1. We are splitting the proceeds of the tickets with another organization.
  2. Certain authors require tickets for their events.
  3. If an event is planned to be in person, we are now also offering a virtual ticket option!

How do I add an event to my cart?

You can click “Add to Cart” on the Upcoming Events page, or you can click “Read More” on an event and select “Add to Cart” from the right sidebar.

Where do I select shipping for a book?

On the View Cart screen, when you scroll to the bottom of the page, you will see your subtotal. If you have added a book to your cart, beneath the subtotal you will see two options in the shipping column: Local Pickup (Traverse City only) or Flat Rate. 

Click the button next to Flat Rate to select shipping. If you are logged in, your address will appear. If you are not logged in or are checking out as a guest, you can enter your address during checkout.

Note: Flat rate shipping is $4 per book.

Do you ship books internationally?

We are only able to ship within the United States. But you can join our virtual events from all over the world!

Do I have to create an account to check out?

While we encourage you to create an account, it is not required. To check out as a guest, click “Continue” when you reach the login page (step 1 of the checkout process). 

On the billing page (step 2 of the checkout process), you can opt out of creating an account by leaving the yellow box at the bottom of the page unchecked.

We do recommend creating an account. When you create an account, you can log in to review your previous and upcoming events and orders and see donations you’ve made. You can also skip steps like filling in your address every time you make a new order.

Do I have to have a PayPal account to check out?

You do not need to have a PayPal account to check out. You can use your credit card through PayPal like a regular transaction at an online store. You can also choose to use Stripe, which also processes your credit card like a standard transaction.

You will receive a “Order in Process” email within moments of placing your order. As soon as your payment method completes via PayPal or Stripe, you will receive a “Order Completed” email that will have more information about your events, purchases, and donations.

Where can I find the Zoom link for my event?

If you cannot find your link, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected], and we will be happy to send it to you.
