On Thursday, December 5, bestselling author James Patterson announced the names of the record 500 independent booksellers who are receiving grants totaling $250,000 as part of his 2019 Holiday Bookstore Bonus Program, which gives indie bookstore employees a bit of extra cash for the holiday season.
Over the past several months, 2,541 booksellers were nominated to receive bonuses, and Patterson personally selected 500 winners from bookstores all across the country, including 100 designated children’s booksellers. Customers, booksellers, publishing industry colleagues, and others were invited to nominate a bookseller by answering the grant application’s one question: “Why does this bookseller deserve a holiday bonus?” Chosen booksellers were lauded for their perseverance, enthusiasm, hand-selling expertise, and dedication to books and reading.
“I’ve said this many times before, but I can’t say it enough: booksellers save lives. Children’s booksellers especially — they guide children to books they’ll enjoy and, in turn, create a new generation of readers,” said Patterson. “I’m happy to be able to acknowledge them and the important work they do in any way that I can this holiday season.”
Said American Booksellers Association COO Joy Dallanegra-Sanger, “Once again, James Patterson is demonstrating his exceptional commitment to literacy and independent booksellers, and all the work that they do to connect authors and readers of all ages. Because of his ongoing generosity, 500 booksellers — many of whom focus their efforts especially towards young readers — will receive well-earned bonuses. He has our deep appreciation and thanks.”
Patterson partnered with the American Booksellers Association in 2019 to distribute the funds to indie booksellers for the sixth consecutive year; each of the 500 winning booksellers was given $500. In 2018, Patterson donated $250,000 to 333 bookstore employees, and in 2017, Patterson donated a record $350,000 to more than 300 bookstore employees. In 2016, he donated $250,000 in bonuses to 149 independent bookstore employees across the country; and in 2015, he gave $250,000 to 87 recipients. In 2014, Patterson awarded $1 million in grants to 178 independent bookstores.
Over the past decade, Patterson has given away over $75 million to support teachers, bookstores, booksellers, and various literacy initiatives, and over a million books to students and the military. The 2019 winners of James Patterson’s Holiday Bookstore Bonus Program are:
