Once again, we’re the title sponsor of The Morning News Tournament of Books that runs during March. We’re making our way through the books in this, the 16th edition of this literary cage-match, and hope you are too.
From TMN: “In case you’re new to all this, the ToB is an annual springtime event here at The Morning News, where a group of the best works of fiction from last year enter a March Madness-style battle royale. In March, these novels will be seeded and paired off in an NCAA Tournament-like bracket. For each pairing, one of our esteemed judges will read both novels and advance one, with a transparent explanation of how they made their decision.”
You can find the competing books and judges here and also, check this Brief History of the Tournament of Books.
A Little Help Please
We’ve made a small batch of sweet kraft Memo Books, with the ToB mascot on the cover and a checklist of the tournament books on the inside.
Buy one or more of these for $5 each and we’ll donate all the profits to 826 National, a nine-chapter network that provides under-resourced students, ages 6-18 with opportunities to explore their creativity and improve their writing skills.
Over that past few years we have raised tens of thousands of dollars for 826. Let's keep it rolling together.
