Marketing your book

Thank you for your interest in Magic City Books, and congratulations on your book!

Our store is owned by the 501(c)(3) corporation, the Tulsa Literary Coalition. As an independent bookstore we have limited space and unfortunately are not always to say yes to stock independently published books year-round. If you are interested in having an event or want us to consider stocking your book on our shelves, please complete the Inventory/Event Form.

Due to the volume of requests, we cannot guarantee all requests will be selected but we do our best to support independent authors as a vital part of our community. In that effort, we now host the Magic City Book Bash, an annual block party to celebrate independently published authors. To be considered for the next Magic City Book Bash, you will need to complete the MCBB Application. The application is open all year but submissions must be entered by Jan. 31 in order to be considered for the current year’s event.

Other area resources for authors include Nimrod, Tulsa City-County Library’s annual Adult Creative Writing Contest, Oklahoma Writer’s Federation, Tulsa Night Writers, and Oklahoma Society for Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (OSCBWI).

Algonquin Room rental

The Algonquin Room at Magic City Books is the perfect spot for your book group, professional meeting, or nonprofit retreat. We can configure the room to meet your needs and have a lectern, projector and sound system if you need it. The room accommodates 12 people comfortably around a large table or 30 with theater style seating. It can also be configured with tables and chairs. The fee for book groups is $25 per hour with a two-hour minimum. The fee for all other groups is $35 per hour with a two-hour minimum. Why the difference? Because fostering book clubs is part of our mission and we want to encourage book groups to use our space and take advantage of our services. The room is available from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday thru Saturday. Please use this form to request a reservation. Our staff will contact you within 48 hours to confirm your reservation and work out the details to ensure a positive experience for your group. Due to our heavy program schedule in the Algonquin Room, we take reservations no more than 35 days in advance. To submit a rental inquiry, click here.

We know you have other choices when it comes to book purchases. We also know that you can find books at a lower price at a big chain store or online. That’s why we focus on providing a level of service that will keep you coming back. We promise to offer an experience you will value, programs that make you think, and a community gathering place that will feed your book-loving soul. We can’t be all things to all people, but we can be the place where you discover books that will open your mind and your heart, and maybe even change your life.
