Get Your Books Into Grocery Stores & Stand Out
I've partnered with a national program to help authors like myself get books directly into the hands of readers at local grocery stores. Sign up to be contacted for our upcoming Zoom workshop to learn exactly how it works!

From Author to Advocate for Authors
Hello! I am Charlotte L. Brown-Parrott, an award-winning author and proud co-founder of an award-winning literary expo that celebrated authors across the country for 10 years. Though the expo has since concluded, each of its co-founders has gone on to continue serving the literary community in their own unique way.
I know firsthand the challenges of getting your book noticed beyond the internet. That is why I have partnered with an incredible national program that helps authors get their books into grocery stores across the country.
Imagine setting up a beautiful, professional table in a busy grocery store, signing copies of your book, and keeping 62% of every sale. It is a game-changer for independent and self-published authors alike.
Through Designs by 31 Woman, I also provide all the professional printing and promotional products you need to make your author table look stunning and attract readers.

Professional Printing for Your Author Table
When you are signing books in a grocery store, presentation is everything. At Designs by 31 Woman, we print exactly what the program recommends for a successful, eye-catching author table. We print it all!
Custom Tablecloths & Runners
Make your table pop with your book cover and branding. A professional tablecloth is the first thing shoppers see and sets the tone for your entire display.

Leave a lasting impression with every reader you meet. Even shoppers who don't buy today will remember you when they see your card later.
