Indies First

Sherman Alexie, the National Book Award-winning author, has launched a grassroots movement dubbed “Indies First” to help support independent bookstores, whereby authors volunteer to spend Saturday, November 30, at an independent bookstore chatting with customers, making book-choice suggestions, and signing their own work. It’s a wonderful important idea that has received huge support from authors and indie booksellers.

I’ll be partnering with OfftheShelf English bookstore in Geneva, Switzerland (15 bvd Georges Favon), starting from 10:30 am on the 30th. If in the area, please stop on by. If not, seek out whatever might be your closest indie bookseller – chances are you’ll find an author or several in residence there for the day.
