FAQs

  • Simply fill out this form with your book information and we will be in touch with you and your team!

  • Not at all. Tertulia is making the full investment in this preorder campaign series as we seek a new, engaged audience of avid readers.

  • Here’s an example of copy we typically send to our authors who need help with what to say:

    “[BOOK TITLE] is out in 30 Days - the countdown has begun! We’re here with a great deal.At the new online bookstore for avid readers, Tertulia, you can now preorder the book for 50 % off and free shipping! To get this deal, you simply check out with a free trial of their membership program – no commitment. Preorders are incredibly important for authors these days, so don’t wait to grab your copy. Already have a Tertulia membership or not ready to subscribe at the moment, take a 20 % discount anyway when you checkout with code[INSERT CODE HERE]!"

  • Our standard setup is 30 days before pub date through the day of publication, but we can work with the most strategic period for you and your publisher.

  • Yes! We report as an independent retailer.

  • No. If they sign up for a no-commitment, 30-day free membership trial, they’ll get a 50% discount on your book. However, if they’re already a Tertulia member or they’re not ready for a membership trial, they can still get a 20% discount using the discount code we provide to you (and that you share with your fans).

  • Nope! No hard feelings if you’re not ready for a membership, but our door is always open…

  • We offer two options for authors: a) 50% off and free shipping with a no-commitment 30-day trial of Tertulia membership b) 20% off with a personalized promo code - no trial membership required.
