We’ve stocked it up with a few favourites on our website plus a few more Cornish titles. Browse Cornish murders, romance, folk tales and classics at Cornwall Writers Bookshop UK
Everyone ordering a book September 7-8 will automatically be entered to win a £250 Gift Card!
Bookshop.org is an online bookshop with a mission to financially support local, independent bookshops.
You can choose a bookshop to support from their map of bricks and mortar bookshops and they’ll receive 30% of the cover price (or almost all of the profit) on your orders for a year. Otherwise, 10% of the cover price of your order will contribute to an earnings pool that will be evenly distributed among participating independent bookshops each month. Either way, your order is sent straight to your address, and all in-stock items arrive in 2-3 days.
They also support anyone who advocates for books through their affiliate programme, which pays a 10% commission on every sale, and gives a matching 10% to independent bookshops. This is the programme we’ve signed up with and all proceeds will go towards funding our website so that we can continue providing our services to Cornish writers free of charge.
Bookshop.org give away the vast majority of their profit to bookshops, publications, authors and the many others who make up the thriving, inspirational culture around books and reading.
They encourage readers to visit and enjoy independent bookshops whenever they can but Bookshop.org makes it easy for readers to support independent bookshops, even when they can’t get to visit them in person. Bookshop.org’s mission is to help strengthen the fragile ecosystem around bookselling and keep local bookshops an integral part of our culture and communities.
