Trinkets

We may not be able to sit down together in a 90s style coffee house (yet), but these trinkets and gizmos help us feel more like we're there.  Have suggestions for us?  We love new things.  And my wife loves to shop.  Maybe don't show us new things.


The products for sale on Baristabookstore.com help us fund the cause of allowing all Indies an audience and home.  If you like what you see, please visit us to see larger images, more offerings and to order through our links.  Help us fund these artists' causes and keep our lights on.

Submit your Fiction and Non-Fiction

We are DYING for fresh voices from self publishing "do-it-yourself-ers".  All you need is a great read, a good cover, and your work to be accessable in the Amazon marketplace (IE: Kindle Direct Publishing, etc).  Let us know if you or someone you know fits the bill so we can get them up on our page!

Submit your iTunes and Amazon music

Do you have a great track just waiting to be released?  

Hit us up!



​We are happy to help a starving musician.  We encorage you to first get your original songs uploaded to an online site so that we can connect listeners with your music, and hopefuly put a couple bucks in your pocket as well.  As of right now, we are only able to feature products that are found on Amazon, so make sure we can get the hyperlink from them.  



*In the Subject heading, type "Music", your name (or band) and the name of your song.

*In the message, give us a link to where we can listen to it for free, or give us a promo code to access it.  If we like it, we'll post it, along with a hyperlink to where others can get it, along with the price for the track.  



*Make sure you are clear in the email which link is for Barista Books to listen to and where you want your fans to go.  



*Lastly, don't forget to place again in the body of the message your song's name, your band's name, and where your fans can reach you (website info, etc.)



By submitting your music, you are agreeing to let Barista Books post it, publish it and even advertise it.

Submit a Short Story

We'd love to take a look at your short stories.  We accept all genres, so long as they are appropriate for a variety of audiences.  That requirement is more content related than subject matter related.  If it is part of a series you're working on, tell us about it.

If we like it, we'll post it, so just check the site for it.  By submitting, you are granting us permission to publish the story online, or even as part of an anthology.  

We don't pay by the word or anything, but if you also provide links to your website or other work, we are happy to make that available to the public when we post your story so that you get exposure and traffic.
