This year has seen us bring our books and authors to classrooms, book fairs, beach cleanups, community groups, and bookstores around the globe. And we couldn't have done any of it without the generous support of our community. And when we say community, we mean every part of it— from the booksellers who recommend our titles, to the teachers who share our books with their students, to the authors who trust us with their stories, the many publications that have supported and championed our work, and, of course, our readers. Without each of these pieces fitting into place, we could never reveal the full picture of what it means to be a part of something so special.
But the reality is that small businesses like ours take not just energy and love to keep them running, but financial support, too. And this support can come in many ways. It could be through a tax-deductible donation made through Fractured Atlas, our fiscal sponsor; choosing Catalyst books as you shop for gifts this holiday season or as part of your book clubs and curriculum; and finally by continuing to spread the word about the work we do and the books you love, whether that's in person or online. You can also support local bookstores and indie publishers by making your purchase at independent bookstores, or through sites like Bookshop.org, Indiepubs, and IndieBound, because we're all in this together.
No matter what you choose, thank you— this year and always.
