Disasters/Relief

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.

NAIBA, Michael Connelly, BookCon, and Shelf Awareness have all stepped up to show their support. 

The event will feature Ann Goldstein, Sam Bett, Jennifer Croft, and “Comma Queen” Mary Norris; all proceeds will benefit the #SaveIndieBookstores campaign.

Booksellers are encouraged to use provided digital assets to promote the campaign, including logos and social media images. The campaign ends April 30. 

Let the advocacy team know about your experiences (positive or negative) so ABA can most effectively advocate for booksellers’ needs.

Those eligible for stimulus checks should ensure that they’ve provided the IRS with their direct deposit information. 

Booksellers are asked to fill out a form to indicate whether their store is open or closed and what services the store is still offering.

Handbook users will find a collection of publisher-provided information related to the COVID-19 outbreak, including details about special offers, key contacts, ordering and returns policies, and more.
