Retailers only offer the book. They cannot sell the full bundle with stickers, bookmarks, and other swag. They also can’t offer signed copies, and they won’t wrap your book in a pretty little package before sending it.
Additionally, when you buy directly from the author, you are giving far more of your money to the author rather than the company. Retailers take between 30-70% of the sale, so authors see far more profit from a direct sale. It’s also just a more personal experience.
Hello, hello, hello! I’m Grace Argento, author of historically inspired fantasies stuffed full of intrigue, adventure, banter, and swoony kisses-only romance. I started writing to fill a gap in my reading preferences after being disillusioned by the lack of adult fantasy books without open-door intimate scenes as a new adult. Now, I write books that adults and teens alike can enjoy! A love of history, my passion for Shakespeare, and my background in theatre and museum education often inspire my work. When I have a bit of free time, I’m typically playing with my kids, watching the latest K-drama rom-com, or taking a soothing bubble bath.
