Why Buy Direct?

Last updated: August 2026

Four Reasons to Buy Direct from Seshat

1. Support a Black Woman-Owned Business

When you buy a book directly from an author instead of through a big retailer, more of your money reaches the person who wrote the book — usually a lot more. Support me and other minority-owned businesses by buying direct.

2. Access Exclusive and Eco-Friendly Products

I use print-on-demand technology to create one-of-a-kind merchandise with unique features not found elsewhere. These products are made using the latest in sustainable digital printing, reducing waste and environmental impact. Buying direct gives you access to these exclusive, eco-friendly items.

3. Gain VIP Status and Perks

As one of my valued customers, you'll receive special offers, discounts, sneak peeks at new releases, and chances to win free merchandise. Join my newsletter to take advantage of these benefits.

4. Make a Difference with Your Impact and Dollars

When you buy direct from me, your dollars go further in funding the stories and messages that matter to you. Your support determines which creative projects come to life and which communities get represented. Invest in my mission of sharing diverse stories about challenging the belief that women become invisible after forty. Together, we can make a difference through the power of conscious consumerism.
