How to Support Indie Bookstores w/o Leaving your House

Bookshop.org is amazing! If you select your bookstore on the site, they will get 30% off the list price of anything you buy. If you don't select a store, that profit goes into a profit sharing pool that gets split between all the bookstores who have signed up.

Libro.fm offers a similar situation for audio books. You have to choose a bookstore to be able to listen on Libro, but a portion of your purchases and subscriptions goes to that store.

Kobo for ebooks - this one you need to find the bookstore's affiliate link first. Kobo only gives stores credits for new sign ups with their affiliate link.

free shipping with BookShop.Org this Prime Day

on July 11 & 12, 2023, BookShop.Org will offer free shipping to entice book buyers to buy from them rather than Amazon. BookShop is an independent seller owned by a small group of investors, the American Booksellers Association, and employees, and they donate to and partner with independent bookstores around the U.S. to benefit brick-and-mortar indies.

(you can read their "about" here.)

unfortunately, BookShop only ships within the U.S., although they do have a UK branch. (I'm not sure whether the UK branch is offering free shipping for Prime Day, but if you're UK-based it's worth checking!) but if you're U.S.-based and would like to buy The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher (or any other books) with free shipping and WITHOUT supporting Amazon this Prime Day, you can order through BookShop!

additionally, Edna's fantastical journey canonically begins on July 11 - the same day the free shipping starts. what better time to buy the book than the very day it begins?

orders over $100 will also receive a BookShop branded tote bag, which according to the email I received about this whole thing is their first-ever merch.

(I am not associated with BookShop. although I did sign up as an affiliate and do get a small commission when people buy through my affiliate links, which the buy links in this post are. but they didn't ask me to advertise. I'm just an author whose book starts on July 11, just like the free shipping.)

anyway, this Prime Day please consider buying The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher through not-Amazon. the book is an adult contemporary fantasy about an 83-year-old who leaves the nursing home for fantastical adventure and gets oodles of found family.

hardcover | paperback

Queer stickers for Bookshop Santa Cruz to sell before and at my event on January 4th! If you're not in the area, you're welcome to DM me and I'll try to get you a quote for whichever designs you like in whatever quantities + shipping. These are primarily based on vintage LGBT pins with input (see: TS reference) from BSC staff. More below the cut!

More photos coming of these in particular shortly! I'm especially proud of the one inspired by Richard Fiala's iconic shirt comic. I just got the second order delivered, so it'll take a moment to get them all lined up and photographed nicely.

This week's recs are from the local library, and they all share a certain magical vibe. Also, I love how all of these are queer except for The Book of Magic, and only one has the sticker.🤣

Alright, I've heard people raving about this series so much, and despite that my knowledge of it is: lesbian necromancer has the hots for her butch bodyguard?

Anyway I've got half an hour before I go to bed so let's find out what else there is to it.

First time I’m seeing TLT in UK bookshops. Couldn’t justify spending money on it when I have the audiobooks, but I just had to take a pic of this heartbreak. Tamsyn when I catch you. When I catch you Tamsyn . Tamsyn when I catch you…

Saw a wild take on the clock app. So... from a independent bookstore who has signed up.... Please support bookshop.org.

They are registered as a B Corp. So they are for profit, but they share profits with local bookstores. The store must be signed up with the ABA to become an affiliate, but once they get that set up they get 30% off the list price of the book when we're you're chosen bookstore. This is damn near comparable to what we'd get if we bought the book wholesale and sold it in the store, but we don't have to fuss with shipping costs or man hours. It's literally saving our bacon as an new bookstore. They do a lot of advertising that is anti-amazon. But like... Amazon is literally killing off indie bookstores, and to be successful, you have to compete with them. Bookshop.org is the best way for indie shops to band together and fight off a massive opp like Amazon. It's the collective power babes.
