THANKSGIVING IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR AUTHORS!
As the world pauses to celebrate gratitude, authors can tap into the season in powerful ways to grow visibility, deepen connection, and boost book impact.
Here are 5 Ways Authors Can Leverage Thanksgiving Day:
1. Share a Thanksgiving-Themed Story or Excerpt
Post a short piece from your book or create a fresh mini-story centered on gratitude, family, or reflection.
2. Host a Gratitude Giveaway
Offer a free chapter, a signed copy, or a holiday-themed gift to your audience. Encourage them to share what they’re grateful for.
3. Create a Thanksgiving Reading List
Curate books—including yours—that fit the season’s mood and share it with your audience.
4. Send a Heartfelt Thanksgiving Message
Use the moment to appreciate your readers, clients, and supporters. Connection strengthens loyalty.
5. Run a Limited-Time Holiday Discount
Offer a Thanksgiving sale on your book(s) to encourage holiday reading and gifting.
Thanksgiving isn't just a holiday, it's a platform for authors to shine.
Take advantage of it. Share your voice. Spread your message.
