Indies First Day

See this?
It’s IndieBound’s list, by state, of which authors and illustrators will appear at their local indies as volunteers on Saturday, November 29, for Indies First Day. Nashville folks, I’ll be volunteering at Parnassus Books from 10 to 11, and I’ll do story time during that hour with my friend, author Jessica Young. Bring your wee ones to us!
Sherman Alexie started Indies First Day last year, encouraging authors to work a shift in their local independent bookstore on Small Business Saturday. This year, Indies First is being spearheaded by Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer.
Hope to see you there!
So very cool, and I’m so disappointed that there’s nothing really near our house – but indies are sort of shrinking/vanishing in the suburbs, unfortunately. Fortunately, it’s not a long trip to Berkeley!
