You know what this means? It means I'm going to go HARD on Historicals for this year's Bookstore Romance Day. Let's remind publishers (& authors & readers) that there's still a huge, voracious readership for them.
After 40 years of publishing, Harlequin will end its iconic historical romance line in 2027:

If you're an author, reader, or reviewer who would be interested in being a part of this celebration of the mass market paperback sometime on the weekend of August 14-15-16, DM me or email infoATbookstoreromancedayDOTorg.
I think that one of the panels I want to do for #BookstoreRomanceDay this year is a celebration of the mass market paperback. So many of us got our starts in the Romance genre—whether as readers or writers—with mass market paperbacks & if they're dead, they deserve a proper wake.

It's so close. I've gotten the rent covered (THANK YOU!), but still need $200 to get my phone turned back on. I really need my phone so that I can make doctor's appointments.

There are MANY more excellent reasons for national healthcare, but this pocket-sized book presents a vision of a publicly funded healthcare program that covers all basic medical services—a fundamental human right.
Normally this costs $14
Today, it's just $5!

I truly hate to keep asking, but I am really struggling. I would much rather be working, but am continually coming up empty, no matter how many resumes I send out. I know there are so many worthy causes that need your help, but I'm hoping you can spare a little.

Hey, friends. I'm still having no luck with the job search, but sitll have expenses, both for everyday living & for keeping Bookstore Romance Day going (though the former is more pressing than the latter at the moment). Any help is truly & deeply appreciated. #Romancelandia
I have ten days to get this to $1500 to be able to cover rent & bills. I'm doing everything I can to find work, but the job market sucks & I can neither stand for extended periods of time nor drive, so retail & gig work are out. Any help is deeply appreciated.
