On 27/28th November there is a collaborative ‘History Writers Day’ (or two) on Twitter. Roughly 250 authors, bookshops, and publishers have joined together to offer readers special offers, giveaways, signed copies and so on. It is a great opportunity to get a bargain, or to have a conversation with people who write about history.
How it works
Participants will Tweet their offers and deals using the hashtag #HistoryWritersDay
If you want to take advantage of a deal, simply Direct Message the author, shop, or publisher who is offering it. it is that simple.
I’ve seen lots of people saying that they will be running competitions or giveaways, so it is well worth watching the hashtag for those.
What will we be offering?
