Gold Country Writers & The Humane Society of the Sierra Foothills
In cooperation with the Humane Society’s Used Book Store at 381 Nevada Street in Auburn, writers from GCW will have a chance to donate their books for sale. The books will be displayed in a special large bookcase that will also feature GCW’s own publications. Authors will not receive any money, but instead have the opportunity to have their book available to be seen by book store patrons, during the month of October. Writers may include their own bookmarks and flyers announcing where the book may be purchased.
