From the Publisher's Desk
Dear <<First Name>>,
How do we celebrate November and December at Meadowlark Press? This year we are launching book after book after book. We have virtual launches and in-person launches and we are busy, busy, busy shipping books all over the country. We look forward to shipping you a book too!
Check out our book gift-giving guide below!
Thank you for reading (and gifting) a Meadowlark book!
--Much Love & Good Reading--

When you order a book from a small press, you become our partner in this journey. When you order a book early—before it is released—your confidence and contribution help us to grow a bigger, stronger Meadowlark. Books purchased directly from Meadowlark are handled by us, packaged by us, and carried to the post office by us. We hope you feel our love and dedication, to our authors and to our readers, when you open that package. We hope you enjoy our tokens of gratitude tucked within, be it a bookmark, an extra poem for your pocket, or a flash of fiction by one of our authors.
If you believe in good vibes, a package from Meadowlark is full of them!
Thank you for buying a Meadowlark Book. Thank you for sharing the love.

Our book recommendations for gifts this holiday season: Give twice the joy!
|
|
Why do books make good gifts? Quite simply put, the gift of a book goes both ways, especially when the book is from a small press or a local author. The Meadowlark bookshelf is full of titles that make excellent gifts, of course.
 Try Opulence, Kansas for the fiction-lover who needs a little hope in their life.
Headwinds is an excellent choice for your Kansas history or aviation buff.
The Pete Stone series will appeal to the mystery readers, as well as those who just like to root for a good guy.
 Ava: A Year of Adventure in the Life of an American Avocet is the perfect gift for your young conservationist.
The Big Quiet: One Woman's Horseback Ride Home will appeal to the midlife reader.
