Big Treat Combo Pack
Want to treat yourself and support writers at the same time? For the price of Chinese take-out, you can buy our Big Treat Combo Pack, which includes:
- one copy of a featured backlist book
- one Paperback Journal
- two Gift-Tag Journals.
Profits from this fundraiser will offset the cost of our writing contests so that we don’t have to charge for entries. Any additional profits will be used to offset the cost of royalties we pay to writers around the world who publish poems, essays, and short stories on our blog. And we’d dearly love to clear some shelf space so that we have room for our 2019 titles.
What are our Paperback Journals like? They are 5×7 inches, feature designer cardstock covers, and have 32 pages plus deluxe endsheets. They are handstitched with linen thread that has been drawn through beeswax for durability. Knot is on the inside of the journal. Colors and paper specifications vary, so be sure to look at the descriptions of each “flavor” below before purchase.
What are our Gift-Tag Journals like? They are 3×3 inches, feature designer cardstock covers, and have 32 pages (no endsheets). They are handstitched with the same waxed linen thread as the Paperback Journals. The knot is on the outside of the journal, embellished with a natural bead. The thread ends are left long (~18 inches each) to allow for tying around a gift. Colors, paper specifications, and bead materials vary, so be sure to look at the descriptions of each “flavor” below for more details.
Featured backlist book: The Book of Wishful Thinking by Darla K. Crist
Do not confuse this with a book of wistful thinking: This compact guide from Darla K. Crist conjures all you need for proper and useful wishing. A pocket knife with blades “called sorrow and joy, so you can cut your losses at any moment”. A pitcher of lemonade that mysteriously refills. The secret to surviving floods (however polite they may be), nervous breakdowns (including those simultaneously close and far from home), or humiliation by the Love Meter (however public). When even your own sleeves “seem to mock” you, when you find yourself “jealous of a monkey,” read this book. The magic found here will serve you well.
