DEADLINE FOR JAMES PATTERSON HOLIDAY BOOKSTORE BONUS NOMINATIONS
November 16, 2022
From the ABA:
James Patterson is once again supporting independent booksellers with a revival of his Holiday Bookstore Bonus Program.
Patterson has pledged a personal contribution of $250,000, to be distributed in amounts of $500, to 500 booksellers from ABA member bookstores.
Nominations
Booksellers can self-nominate to be considered for a bonus, or they can be nominated by bookstore customers, owners, employees, managers, fellow booksellers, publishing professionals, or authors. Past recipients of James Patterson bonuses and grants are eligible for another bonus.
Nominations can be made online by completing and submitting a simple nomination form, which asks one easy question: “In 250 words or less, why does this bookseller deserve a holiday bonus?” The deadline to nominate a bookstore employee for a holiday bonus is November 16, 2022. Use this form to nominate yourself or someone else.
