For Bookshops, Boutiques & Cafés

Are you a bookstore, café, or boutique interested in carrying Unshackled?

I would love to collaborate with you!

Visual Merchandising

Unshackled is more than a book; it’s a lived experience in words and images. To share that experience with your community, I’ve created a one-of-a-kind birdcage display (a piece of art in itself) where copies of the book rest like keepsakes, inviting discovery and conversation.

Value-Add for Customers.

To make the experience even more memorable for your customers, every copy sold comes with an octopus bookmark - tassels, tentacles, and a hidden doorway into something more.

Note: Bookmarks are not physically packaged with the books. Instead, I provide a matching number of bookmarks for each copy you stock — whether ordered directly through me (consignment/wholesale) or through other retailers using the ISBN. This ensures every customer who purchases Unshackled from your shop receives a keepsake bookmark as a complimentary gift.

By shelving Unshackled, your shop isn’t just supporting a local author&artist - you’re helping ripple out conversations on resilience, creativity, and mental health. A portion of proceeds also supports Youth Mental Health Canada.

Why Carry Unshackled?

  • Supports a Canadian indie author and artist

  • Ties into mental health advocacy: a portion of each sale is donated to Youth Mental Health Canada

  • Distinctive in-store presentation (artistic display + free bookmarks)

  • Appeals to readers of poetry, memoir, and art books

Ordering Options

  • Direct Consignment or Wholesale (signed copies, display + bookmarks included)

  • Through ISBN ordering channels (bookmarks + display available directly from the author upon request)

Books find their way into the world because readers carry them there.

If you’d like to see Unshackled on your local bookstore or café shelf, you can download this letter, sign your name, and deliver it to your favourite spot!
