Today is the launch of the Love Your Bookstore Initiative, a collaboration between industry magazine Publishers Weekly and Sourcebooks in which they make a pretty simple and easy challenge to all lovers of literature in exchange for the chance to win free books:
“Celebrate your favorite bookstore by posting a photo from inside the store with a favorite book (or bookseller!) and use #loveyourbookstore in the caption to share the love!”
Now, it’s a given you probably won’t find any of our titles in your local bookstores—either indie or mainstream—since most shops won’t stock a book unless they’re certain they can move copies and indie titles are too risky an investment, but that doesn’t mean SWC doesn’t support this initiative; hell, bookstores are some of our favorite places!
Love Your Bookstore Week runs November 10–16. For more information, visit the Love Your Bookstore website.
