This idea and great cause is courtesy of Tin House. Buy a book at an independent bookstore and save your receipt.
Tin House Books will take unsolicited manuscripts through November 30, 2010, provided they are accompanied by a receipt from a bookstore.
Tin House magazine will take unsolicited submissions through December 30, 2010, provided you include a receipt or a scan of a receipt from a bookstore.
If you cannot afford to buy a book or cannot get to an actual bookstore, you may explain why in haiku or one sentence (100 words or fewer). They will consider the purchase of e-books as a substitute only if you explain why you cannot get to your neighborhood bookstore, why you prefer digital reads, what device, and why.
Happy Halloween! Make your local goblins happy.
