Would you like a free book?

Anyone who signs up for a paid subscription, including those who switch from a free to a paid subscription, before December 15, will have their name entered into a drawing to win a book mailed from an indie bookshop. I can mail to Europe or the United States (and likely figure out elsewhere, but we’ll have to email about it).

​​If you know me, then you know I love handing out books. If you’re a friend or maybe even just someone I bumped into at a conference once, you probably have a book I gifted you — maybe it’s Joseph Andras’s Tomorrow They Won’t Dare to Murder Us. I give that one to just about anyone who will take it. It’s one of my favorites, and I think everyone should read it.

Which book am I going to mail you? If you win the drawing, I’ll email you to see what you like, and we’ll go from there. Some favorites that I read this year were Robert Jackson Bennett's The Tainted Cup, Vajra Chandrasekera's The Saint of Bright Doors, and Sally Rooney's Intermezzo (yeah, yeah, I know).

Even if you don’t win a book, by subscribing, you'll get my hard-hitting reporting in your inbox just about every Wednesday and help me continue covering government abuses, investigating corporate overreach, and uplifting the stories of people’s movements in the new year. I hope you'll decide it's an investment worth making. I'd be grateful!

Here’s that subscribe link again.

Yours &c.
