Read Indie. Support Small Press Authors.

Yesterday we joined Publishers Weekly and other small/independent publishers, organizations, and trade magazines to launch the #ReadIndie campaign. It's an opportunity for publishers like Overcup to highlight the range, importance, and distinctive character of the indie publishing community.

Several Overcup authors took time out to let us snap a few photos and to talk about why it's important to support independent small publishers like us. Thanks Ruby, Liz, Matt, and Niki for sharing your thoughts on this topic that is near and dear to us. Check out these videos below to hear more about how they found a home for their work here at Overcup. 

Take a few minutes to hear what all of them have to say about the power of small, independent publishers!

Ruby McConnell, author of Ground Truth: A Geological Survey of a Life

    Liz Prato, author of Volcanoes, Palm Trees, and Privilege: Essays on Hawai'i

    Niki Ganong, author of The Field Guide to Drinking in America: A Traveler's Guide to State Liquor Laws

    Matt Wagner, author of The Tall Trees series of books

COVID 19: Support Indie Bookstores

Today was supposed to be Independent Bookstore Day. It's now been rescheduled for August 29, 2020. There's so much worth celebrating right now, today and we want to help you find bookstores to support. Our thanks to bookstores all over the country who are keeping our communities well-read while keeping people safe and healthy.

When we read about Don Gorman of Rocky Mountain Books making a map of Canadian bookstores that are open for delivery, curbside pickup, and shipping, we loved the idea. To celebrate Independent Bookstore day we've borrowed a page from his playbook and created U.S. regional maps of bookstores that are open right now.

We hope you'll share these maps and your favorite local bookstore on social media and use these hastags:
