A lot of people want to be writers. Probably more want to make money from writing. In Scratch, a wide range of authors talk about the side of writing that doesn’t get talked about enough: making cold hard cash.
Here’s the official synopsis:
A collection of essays from today’s most acclaimed authors—from Cheryl Strayed to Roxane Gay to Jennifer Weiner, Alexander Chee, Nick Hornby, and Jonathan Franzen—on the realities of making a living in the writing world.
In the literary world, the debate around writing and commerce often begs us to take sides: either writers should be paid for everything they do or writers should just pay their dues and count themselves lucky to be published. You should never quit your day job, but your ultimate goal should be to quit your day job. It’s an endless, confusing, and often controversial conversation that, despite our bare-it-all culture, still remains taboo. In Scratch, Manjula Martin has gathered interviews and essays from established and rising authors to confront the age-old question: how do creative people make money?
We’re giving away 5 copies of Scratch to Book Riot readers, thanks to our friends at BookBaby. One of these lucky winners will also win $500 credit on any BookBaby order over $500.

We have 10 copies of The Girl in the Garden by Melanie Wallace to give away to 10 Riot readers.
Here’s what it’s about:
When June arrives on the coast of New England, baby in arms, an untrustworthy man by her side, Mabel—who rents them a cabin—senses trouble. A few days later, the girl and her child are abandoned.
June is soon placed with Mabel’s friend, Iris, in town, and her life becomes entwined with a number of locals who have known one another for decades: a wealthy recluse with a tragic past; a forsaken daughter returning for the first time in years; a lawyer, whose longings he can never reveal; and a kindly World War II veteran who serves as the town’s sage. Surrounded by the personal histories and secrets of others, June finds the way forward for herself and her son amid revelations of the others’ pasts, including loves—and crimes—from years ago.
In vivid, nuanced prose, Melanie Wallace explores the time-tested bonds of a small community, the healing power of friendship and love, and whether the wrongs of the past can ever be made right.

It’s pretty amazing how good ereaders are now. High-resolution screens, great battery life, built-in wi-fi, backlighting, and more. There is one frontier though that only a few ereaders have tackled: water-resistance.
The bath, the beach, poolside: all classic places to read that haven’t to this point been conducive to ereading. But not anymore.
We’re giving away the best of the new breed of waterproof ereaders: the Nook Glowlight Plus. It’s a damn fine ereader that you can take with you to any reading spot without worrying about frying it with a little splash.
So, go here to enter for a chance to win, or just click on the image below. Good luck!
