One time, 20+ years ago, I decided to make a cranberry sauce from scratch. It was my first time hosting Thanksgiving, and I wanted to impress my grandmother.
It came out fine! But was not the stuff in a can.
Needless to say, Gram wisely and quietly pulled a can of Ocean Spray out of her purse.

Right, this event needs $1500 to happen. There are 600 participating bookstores & for most it’s their busiest sales day of the year, or is second only to Indie Bookstore Day / Small Business Saturday.
Editors/publishers, this is a no-brainer of an opportunity for your imprint. Romancelandia: pls RT

I'm gonna be real-real here: Bookstore Romance Day may not happen in 2026. By this time of year, I've usually secured at least a handful of sponsors & their backing helps pay for things like newsletter services & Canva & Zoom & internet, all of which are needed for planning & off-season events.
