Announcing A BIT OF EARTH Preorder Campaign
As a HarperCollins-published author, I stand with the HarperCollins Union and support the strike. I, and many other HarperCollins authors, have called upon Brian Murray and HarperCollins to meet with the union and meet their incredibly reasonable demands, and will continue to do so and stand by the union and the incredible workers who are responsible for everything that makes A Bit of Earth, and other HarperCollins titles, the beautiful and polished book you will see on your shelves.
Please refer to the HarperCollins Union's LinkTree for day-to-day updates on the strike, and important action items to stand in solidarity. I have created a Bookshop affiliate link for A BIT OF EARTH that benefits the strike, so please preorder here if you would like to aid them.
As we near A BIT OF EARTH's publication date, I am so touched by how many have been inquiring about personalized copies and preorders. All Maria needs is a place to bloom, and I'm grateful you've chosen to provide her, and her story, a space on your shelves, in your homes and in your hearts. Thank you.
To show my appreciation, I'm offering a Pre-Order Campaign, with special swag and other surprises along the way! Read on...
