Hundreds of independent bookstores across the country will be hosting local authors today in a effort called Indies First. Locally, Antigone Books on Fourth and Mostly Books will have authors in today signing their books and chatting with customers.
Launched by author Sherman Alexie, Indies First encourages authors to volunteer at their local store, to give back some of the support that independent bookstores have traditionally given to authors.
Check out the effort at IndieBound.org online.
