Dear #BookSky Minneapolis has an absolutely incredible literary culture. In fact, three of the most important small presses call the city home; Coffeehouse Press, Graywolf, and Milkweed. There are also a ton of great bookstores in the Twin Cities. So here's the assignment...

Some thoughts on the role of booksellers, courtesy of
The Haunted Bookshop‬ @bookshopghost.bsky.social

It's a detailed thread, worth the read for anyone interested in books and their impact on society.

Let's talk about books and the public trust.

📚🧵

Something that is easy to forget, in these days of barcode-scanning / auto-adjust pricing on third-party platforms for pennies plus shipping:

Booksellers are not merely people who sell some popular books in a competitive market.

Don’t miss your fairytale ending. Free shipping at @bookshop.org disappears at midnight, so show some love to indie bookstores before the clock strikes 12.

Support independent authors, publishers, and sellers,
#indieauthors #indiepublishers #indiebooksellers
and the Freedom to Read.
"I want to know how to support people in their work."

Folks.

I dunno, maybe it needs saying. Buy their books or comics or records. If they're on the outside, get people talking about them. Talk about them yourself. Share the links. Subscribe to the outlets and say why.

One More Month! On October 7, my latest picture book, CATNIP MOUSE will hit stores and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with kids! It’s going to be a very silly, silly book! #silly #newbook #bookbirthday #newpicturebook #indiebooksellers #catsanddogs #indiebookshop #funnybooksforkids

Bookstore owners/bookseller friends, tell me how your store came to be, please.

Is he not aware that #indiebookstores and #indiebooksellers talk to each other A LOT and an asshole to one is an asshole to all?

I want to support independent bookstores this week, not billionaires! Would love for anyone who sees this to either share your favorite independent bookstore, the best book you’ve read thus far in 2025, or both! #BookSky #AmazonBoycott #IndieBooksellers

DYK you can buy ebooks while supporting small bookstores? Bookshop.org keeps your money out of Amazon's pockets -- the sale goes through indie sellers.

Bought this on Indie Bookshop Day. It was a fun and fast read. I even shed a small tear at one point. #indiebooksellers #booksky 📚 #fantasy

Thank you Calistoga Copperfield’s Books for inviting me to celebrate #indiebookstoreday with you. You all made me feel so welcome. #indiebooksellers #indiebookstorelove #indieauthor #bookstagram #anniefoxauthor

Indie bookstore day rocks. Indie bookstores rock! Just remember, anything you can order from Amazon you can order from your bookstore down the street. And only one of those two pays local taxes and hires local people and keeps local storefronts open.
PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week.

They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions.

Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.
