Getting Books as Gifts for the Holidays
A friendly reminder that many of the writers you follow daily also have books you can enjoy.
As we get closer to the Holiday season, getting gifts for loved ones can be a struggle. I want to just remind you that many of the writers that you follow on Medium and other platforms, are authors and have books for sale.
You might look at the image, and the tagline and think “He is just pushing his books.” and to a limited extent, that is true. I want folks to go onto Amazon and buy my books. But it is also and primarily a reminder to look at the writers you follow and see if they have books available.
On Medium, it is easy to see the little Blue Book mark after the name, so if you enjoy what they write, click on their profile.
Not all the books that are written are paperback or hardback. Many of the authors write and publish digitally, so if you are looking to get them as a gift, you might instead get an E-Reader and a Subscription. With subscriptions such as Kindle Unlimited, some authors stories will be free as part of the subscription. (I know because I am part of that program.)
To show you just how easy it was to find information about books from writers whose work you enjoy, I went into my “Following” and just picked the first few authors who were in my queue, to get book images for this article.
The Bottom Line is many of your favorite writers have books that are available. Some mention them every time they post, but most simply are focused on working on their latest stories. So for the Holidays, treat yourself or your loved ones to the gift of books. It is something that will last longer than the season and might lead to discovering new and interesting authors.
