Anyone can nominate an independent bookseller for Patterson’s 2019 Holiday Bookstore Bonus Program: booksellers themselves, publishing professionals, authors, and bookstore customers. All past recipients of Patterson grants are eligible, and booksellers can self-nominate.
The grant application asks one simple question: “Why does this bookseller deserve a holiday bonus?”
