Door Prize Donations – Get Involved!
We invite all participating authors to contribute to our door prize giveaways! There will be several smaller prizes throughout the day, along with one exciting grand prize. Donated items can include signed copies of your books, writer-themed merchandise, or other creative goodies you’d like to share.

How it works: Customers will earn raffle tickets by supporting both the store and participating authors on social media. The more they engage—likes, shares, check-ins, posts, and tags—the more tickets they receive, and the more chances they’ll have to win. It’s a fun way to boost visibility for everyone involved and celebrate the community we’re building together!
Would you like to donate to the door prizes and have the ability to pass out raffle tickets to customers supporting your social channels?

YesNo
As part of the event, we’re excited to offer 10-minute reading slots followed by 10-minute discussion/Q&A blocks. These readings will be scheduled by genre to help create a smooth flow and encourage audience engagement. Children’s books will kick off the day in the morning, followed by a mix of genres throughout the afternoon, and poetry will close out the event. If you’re interested in participating, please let us know in the form—this is a great opportunity to share your work, connect with readers, and build your audience!
