Designed to be an ethical alternative to Amazon, Bookshop.org is a convenient way to buy books online while supporting local bookstores. Of the sales price, 10% goes to support participating ABA independent bookstores in an earnings pool that is distributed to every six months. Another 10% of sales go to linking affiliates, including small publishers, for whom affiliate sales can provide as much as 20% of their total income.
I’m a participating affiliate, with a “storefront” listing books my writing has appeared in; publications from my micropress, the New Smut Project; and some of my favorite erotica:

The next time you buy a paperback or hardcover, whether it’s by me or anyone else, consider doing it through Bookshop.org as a way to promote a healthier & more diverse literary ecosystem.
