Local Authors & Artisans

Welcome to our Store.

About Us

Thanks for you interest in Hudson Valley Books for Humanity! Our store is carefully curated to feature books and artisan items related to social justice, planet-friendly living, historically marginalized communities, and the magic of the Hudson Valley.

If you are a local author or artisan with a product that connects to one or more of the categories above, we’re happy to hear from you. That said, please keep in mind the following:

Local Author Books

  • Local author books are selected based on being a good fit for our store. We generally order 1 or 2 copies of new books - even the bestsellers - since we are primarily a “pre-loved” bookstore.

  • We typically favor books that are available through Ingram Distributors. (We order larger quantities directly from publishers if we arrange an author event that is likely to draw a large audience.)

Local Artisan Products

  • Artisan products are selected with price point, customer appeal, and overall store aesthetic in mind. Please don’t be offended if we cannot carry your product at this time.

  • If we choose to carry your product, we will either purchase an order at your wholesale price OR offer your product through a 60:40 consignment arrangement.

For inquiries related to book or artisan product sales, please email amy@hvbooksforhumanity.com.

Local Author Events
