As Gillian Welch says in the artist’s lament, “Everything is Free”: 

I’m gonna do it anyway, even if it doesn’t pay. 

However, I would like to make a gentle plea, public radio-style, for more than just your moral support for my work: 

Please support my writing by buying my books, by sharing them with your friends and book groups, and by asking your local or school libraries to buy them for their collections. (Note: I’m delighted to video chat with book groups and classes! Visit the CONTACT page for more details.)

You can also support me buying my books—and anything I recommend—online through my Bookshop.org affiliate page. In addition to supporting indie brick-and-mortar stores around the country, when you shop through my affiliate page and any links you find here or in my posts & letters, 10% of the proceeds come back to me to support this newsletter’s overhead, and my writing in general. 

Lovely news: The Italian translation of Glaciers, Ghiacciai, (translated by Marcella Maffi) has just been reissued by the very cool ACCENTO EDIZIONI, with an introduction (prefazione!) by the Italian author Viola Ardone. If you’re not in Italy & you'd like to practice your Italian, you can purchase the Ebook here.

Both of my books are available in AUDIO, read by brilliant actors: GLACIERS read by Rebecca Lowman & MARROW ISLAND read by Emily Rankin. Audio editions are expensive to produce. Purchasing audio books through LIBRO.FM supports writers, publishers, and the actors whose talent brings the stories to life.

I am not a LIBRO.FM affiliate & do not receive a commission for linking to them, but like BOOKSHOP.ORG, LIBRO profit-shares with independent bookstores. I encourage everyone to check out audiobooks from their local libraries if they don’t have the funds to purchase all the books they’d like to listen to.
