Disasters/Relief

As part of the Bookscan Challenge, participating publishers have each identified one backlist title — an enduring hand-sell with a proven track record — for which they will donate 100 percent of the profit to the campaign.

Rick and Becky Riordan have announced a personal matching gift challenge in which they will match each dollar raised up to $100,000 beginning today.

At 8:00 p.m. ET, young adult authors will gather on Twitter for an Ask Me Anything (AMA) to benefit the #SaveIndieBookstores campaign.

More than two dozen publishing executives participated in the kick-off of the campaign — each with a selfie taken with a book held up as a surgical mask. 

Appearing on the April 28 livestream with Hale will be director Jerusha Hess and producer Stephenie Meyer as well as a number of cast members.

“Government Relief and Wage Requirements: What You Need to Know” is now available on the Education Resources page on BookWeb.org.

Each participating publisher has identified one backlist title — an enduring hand-sell with a proven track record — for which they will donate 100 percent of the profit to the campaign.

To be considered for a grant, bookstores can visit SaveIndieBookstores.com to fill out a short application.
