Sourcebooks Launches Campaign to Grant Money to Community Bookstores

Jan 05, 2016

Independent publisher Sourcebooks recently launched a reader voting campaign that will give grant money to three nominated bookstores.

The “Readers, Recommend Your Bookstore Campaign” is inspired by the support booksellers have given to Katarina Bivald and her book, The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend, which was selected as the #1 Indie Next Great Read for January 2016. The story is based on the impact that books and community bookstores have on people's lives. 

Anyone can nominate their favorite bookstore here. Sourcebooks will award the winning bookstore with a $3,000 prize; two additional bookstores will each receive a $637 prize (the population of Bivald’s fictional Broken Wheel, Iowa). In addition to bookstores receiving prizes, weekly giveaways for those who nominate will be held throughout the campaign. Voting began January 4, and runs until February 19, when the winning bookstores will be announced.
