Host Your Event at Moonstruck Market

We host events at 329 N Babcock St, Melbourne, FL 32935.

We love author signings, book clubs, small business pop-ups, hobby meet-ups, and more!

As a brand-new inclusive bookshop in a culturally tumultuous area, we need all the financial stability we can get. Events can disrupt usual shopping or store-sponsored event programming. Therefore, there are costs associated with hosting events at Moonstruck Market, as follows.

Events by Type

  • Author readings take place in our book club room. They can be ticketed or public. 

    • Ticketed: We set up and handle ticket sales, which are equal to the cost of your book and include a copy.

    • Public: There is no ticket necessary to attend, and copies will be for sale at the event.

    If you bring your own books to be sold, we split sales and you take home 60%. If we are responsible for supplying books, you are paid royalties for the sale through your publisher.

    For author pop-ups, you can set up a 5' table in the main area of the shop, plus a reasonably sized pop-up banner if you would like. If you bring your own books and handle your own sales, we just charge a $35 table fee for up to four hours. If we order books for you and handle sales through our system, you are paid royalties for each sale through your publisher, and there is no table fee. (We recommend you bring your own books and handle your own sales for simplicity and cost-effectiveness!)

  • Host a workshop or class in our book club room!

    Pricing is as follows:

    • 1hr: $30 + 15% of ticket sales

    • 1.5 hr: $45 + 15% of ticket sales

    • 2 hr: $60 + 15% of ticket sales

    If you're an artist who currently rents a shelf from us, your pricing is as follows:

    • 1hr: $20 + 10% of ticket sales
