Dzanc Books Independent Bookstore Program: RiverRun Bookstore is the first featured store!

We're thrilled that Dzanc Books, a fantastic publisher of literary fiction, has started a wonderful new program for both readers and independent bookstores. RiverRun Bookstore is the first bookstore to be featured!

From August 15th to September 15th, if you purchase a book of literary fiction at our bookstore and then mail your receipt and flier we give you to Dzanc, they will donate one of their books to a library of your choice.

Additionally, if you decide to sign up for one of their fabulous Dzanc Creative Writing Sessions, $5 of the registration fee will go to Seacoast Local.

Here are the details of the program, re-posted from their blog:

1) Dzanc Books will continue the donating of a title from our catalog, or one of our imprints. The patron of RiverRun Bookstore will inform us of the library to which the donation will be made. Dzanc Books has created fliers that have a simple form to fill out and send to us with the receipt, showing that the book was purchased during the correct dates, and was for a book of literary fiction from RiverRun Bookstore. The books do NOT need to have been published by Dzanc or our imprints.

2) RiverRun Bookstore, along with promoting the donation of books, will also promote the Dzanc Creative Writing Sessions, our extremely inexpensive and successful writer mentoring program. For every order to the DCWS placed by a writer that notes on their order that they were sent our way by RiverRun, Dzanc will donate $5 to Seacoast Local, a non-profit based near the bookstore that promotes that people think local first when it comes to their money and time spent. Dzanc Books will make this donation in RiverRun Bookstore's name in one sum at the end of the month.

This is a really good opportunity to support your local bookstore, your local library, a really great publisher, AND Seacoast Local!
