When you buy a book, direct from an author you support them. You transform a transaction into a relation. You also help an author avoid making huge marketing spends just to be visible on an online corporate portal that runs purely by money and for money. One that does not care for art or writers. Buying directly from an author means you’re part of something bigger. You’re joining a community of readers who believe in supporting creators at the source. Like in the old times when artists used to have patrons to sustain their effort, you become a patron. You are not just buying a book — you’re helping ensure the next one gets written. You’re choosing to make a difference, one book at a time. Thanks for being a part of something bigger. Thank you for choosing to stand with authors. Happy reading.
