Who is your wholesale and trade distributor?

Many Forward Movement titles are listed in the trade book market through our distributor APG, based in Nashville, TN. These titles are also available through Ingram Content Group and other wholesale retailers. To establish a trade account and to order from APG please contact Debbie Felt at dfelt@apgbooks.com.


Are any of your books available in electronic format?

Yes, many of our titles can be purchased as e-books, though not directly through our website. At present, we offer e-books through the Amazon Kindle and Apple Books, and certain titles are available on major audiobook platforms like Audible. Books that are available as e-books have the appropriate links provided on their individual product pages.


Can you help me locate an out of print book?

Sorry. "Out of print" means we don't sell the book anymore (though it may still be available in used or new bookstores). Don't despair! Many previously out of print Forward Movement titles are now seeing new life as Books on Demand or as e-books, and many more are on their way to an electronic re-release.


What are your shipping and handling charges?

Shipping and handling is calculated at check-out; costs depend on your geographic location and weight of your order. Please call Customer Service 1-800-543-1813 or email orders@forwardmovement.org for a quote.


How long will shipping take?

Our system defaults to Economy shipping, but you are able to select Standard or Express shipping at check-out. Shipping timelines vary depending on delivery location, time of order, and other factors sometimes out of our control. All orders ship from our fulfillment warehouse in Nashville, TN.
