Second Annual Indie Lit Secret Santa Signup Open

scary santaFrom now till December 15, sign up to play Secret Santa at HTMLGiant. It’s easy! On the sign-deadline, you will find out your recipient and her or his address, and by Christmas (it’s December 25, this year, I think), send them a book from an indie press or a subscription to an indie mag. And you get one too! Sounds like it was a great success last year, and it’s sure to be this year, too.

Also, let us know if you’d like to donate a discount or an inscription or anything else that’ll sweeten the deal. The point, after all, is to support independent literature, so let’s help ourselves help ourselves!

More details can be found on the post from last year, here. It’s really all pretty simple. Spend $10-$20. SIGN UP HERE TO PLAY! ****UPDATE: IMPORTANT NOTE: WHEN YOU SIGN UP, YOU WON”T AUTOMATICALLY BE ASKED FOR YOUR MAILING ADDRESS, WHICH ADDRESS IS ESSENTIAL IF YOU WANT TO RECEIVE A GIFT. AFTER SIGNING UP, CLICK ON THE “YOU” TAB, THEN CLICK ON “UPDATE YOUR PROFILE,” AND THEN ENTER AND SAVE YOUR ADDRESS.****

      No Tell Books (http://www.notellbooks.org) has a 2 books for $20 deal. If you mention “HTMLGIANT Secret Santa” in your order, I’ll refund the shipping costs ($4) so your total cost will be $20 instead of $24. Paypal only.

      I will also extend the Black Friday offer, buy a copy of our newest book, PERSONATIONSKIN by Karl Parker for $12 and receive a free copy of my book, Your Ten Favorite Words (Coconut Books). Mention “HTMLGIANT Secret Santa” and I’ll refund the shipping costs for that as well. Paypal only.

      […] HTMLGiant is having a Secret Santa exchange. It’s almost charming. The idea is to support independent literature, which I’m all for. Check it out if you’re into books and community. […]

      Awesome. I’m in.

      Also, I’m too lazy to update the Hobart site with any “deals” though we were offering a “buy a subscription and get any back issue or either minibook for free” deal a while back which, again, I’ve been too lazy to stop doing. So, that’s still available. You could buy a gift sub and also send a minibook, or keep that for yourself. Also: I just got some rad Maker’s Mark wrapping paper, so if you want, I’d even be happy to wrap the books for you.

      Hobart + bourbon = who doesn’t love??

      What about the other indies? Give a non-commercial gift for a change, which would be a nicely authentic way to embrace the spirit of the holiday season – and not of Santa Claus!

      A complete run of everything Satisfactory Comics has published will run you $20 normally. Some of our early stuff is a little amateurish, but we have improved a lot, and even at our silliest we’re very literary-minded. If you mention this deal in your Paypal order, I’ll also drop in a complete set of odd self-published postcards of (a.) botanical close-ups, (b.) architectural oddities, and (c.) potpourri.
