Author Enquiries

Have you never done this before? Not sure what you need?

Just know, my bookish candles were created to show my love for books and to support authors like you. I've found myself in an amazing community, and I'd love to share that support to others. So, if you love candles like I do, and you'd love to have custom candles inspired by your books, read below to find the option that fits what you're looking for!

Option 1: Are you looking to get merch to sell or giveaway?
Fill out the Custom Bulk Request on my website (found under Customs in the main menu). This is ideal if you're looking to get quite a few to either resell or for whatever you want! Authors also use this for book boxes. You design a custom candle with me, and I give you a discount on a bulk order; the more you get the more the discount is! 
Option 2: Do you just want to make it available to your readers without having to deal with reselling? OR do you just want a couple?
Again, go to the Custom form, but NOT the bulk option. It's the same process, but you can select to have your custom be Shareable. This means that after we've finished the custom for you (which you would actually receive before I put it on the website), you can let your readers know where they can also get one! You can find other Shared Customs on my website as well from the main menu, if you'd like to see what that looks like.
Shared Customs have a 6 month time limit in the shop starting 2025, unless they reach a certain number of sales. Then you would have the option to keep it in the shop permanently!
Option 3: Would you rather go through a launch?

Basically, your candle would come out during a launch. There are two major perks to this. First, it's completely FREE to you as the author! Second, you get a special discount 15% code available to use on your candles if you'd like to order more in the future. You also would get a free candle from me if you want one!

I also offer LICENSING now, which comes with a slightly bigger discount for you to buy more of your candles, as well as up to 5 candles/melts sent to you per each new candle for the shop. It's not required, but I would appreciate a shout out on your website with a link to the candle. I would also require a 2 month window if you want to take your candles out of the shop/cancel the contract.

Rules for Launch candles:

-If you are trying to plan around a release date, please let me know when you'd like to launch ASAP. I usually have 1-2 launches planned in advance, so your candle will get in on the next available slot.

-It must be LGBTQ+.


My normal processing time is 3-6 weeks: this includes designing, scent testing, pouring and curing, finishing touches and packing. Please allow for this time when making your request.

If you still have questions, don't hesitate to ask!
