Join the Bell Cow herd, just 3 easy steps!

Step 1: Before You Submit—A Few Important Notes!

📌 This is NOT a bookstore or distributor – Bell Cow is a catalog that helps libraries and indie bookstores discover local authors. We don’t sell books ourselves—we just make sure the right people know about yours.

📌 Listing Fee is Non-Refundable – Once you submit, your listing fee is final. No refunds, no mulligans—so double-check your info before hitting submit!

📌 We Reserve the Right to Decline Listings – While we want to feature a wide variety of books, we do have some basic standards. If your submission is incomplete, misleading, or doesn’t align with our mission, we may decline to include it. (No worries—we’ll reach out if there’s an issue.)

📌 Libraries & Bookstores Make Their Own Choices – We’re here to spread the word, but we can’t guarantee that a store or library will stock your book. Our job is to make sure they know about it—you bring the magic that makes them want it!

📌 Accuracy Matters – What you submit is what gets printed. Typos, incorrect links, or missing info are on you—so proofread like your book deal depends on it.

📌 Deadline - For inclusion in the 2027 Cattle-log, the deadline is: November 1, 2026

Here's a link to the most recent version.

Step 2: Payment

We like to keep things simple—just like a good plot twist. You can secure your spot in the Bell Cow Cattle-log for $60.

Step 3: Wait for Confirmation

Once payment is received, we'll send an email confirming payment and include a link for you to submit information about yourself and your books. Don't worry, it's not too long, but it is vital to making sure we put your best face forward.

If there are any questions or concerns, we'll connect to iron them out.

Once complete, we'll share all the important dates and other details about when you can expect to hear from us. We'd like to add, "and when you can expect for the money to start pouring in," but our legal team has advised us against that. So, instead we'll say, "and when you can expect the catalog to be out in the world and for your information to be added to our online directory." (We know, it's not nearly as exciting, but it's much more realistic and within our control.)

Wait, what if I don't hear from you?

That's not going to happen. Michael, especially, has this "thing" about unread emails. So you'll hear from us. But, if you ever want to reach out, feel free to drop us an email: bellcowproductions@gmail.com

Thanks for joining the herd!
