...I bring you the BryonySeries/The Book Market Holiday Book Sale.
This is what we're doing and why.
For the last three years, WriteOn Joliet has hosted its annual, open-to-the-public anthology release party (with free, chef-created food) at The Book Market in Crest Hill.
And for the last two years, we've featured an "Author of the Month," with our WriteOn Joliet authors, which has included a book signing, also at The Book Market.
This year because of COVID, some of our monthly author signings were canceled - including the one in December. And the anthology release party didn't happen at all.
Now The Book Market doesn't rise and fall on sales from WriteOn Joliet authors (I wish!). But we do generate SOME sales, and the store's owner Janet Staley always feels that our release party generates enough sales to make it worth staying open late on party night.
So Timothy, Rebekah and I put our heads together last week and devised this plan.
From now until January 7, you will receive a $1 credit to The Book Market for every $5 worth of books you order directly from me. I have approximately twenty titles of books for nearly every age, so perhaps you might find something that interests you (or will interest someone you know).
Timothy even generated some beautiful coupons that we will email to you. A draft is below. I am paying the credit forward to The Book Market, so money only flows toward the store, not away from it.
This year has been a tough year for many people and businesses, especially small businesses and their owners. By working together, we can bring some holiday cheer to this indie bookstore in Crest Hill.
