Through this platform, I’ve made it a habit to give back by supporting local independent bookstores. These small businesses are the heart of any literary community, and we’ve made it a point to partner up with Bookshop.org to foster relationships with the owners so that people buy the books locally. It’s our way of showing appreciation for the places that nurture our reading habits and help keep the bookstores alive.

The second important way we give back through this platform is by donating 10% of the proceeds I make, to donate to the Malala Fund. In more human terms, this means that whenever you buy a book from a link here, I receive a small percentage of its price.  So 10% of those proceeds will be used to contribute to girls’ education worldwide.
