Golden Questionsdiscover new books that pose questions and offer solutions through wisdom, imagination, and wonder. Publishizer Summer 2024 |
This summer, Publishizer is calling for books that encourage critical thinking, exploration, and dialougue through the art of holding space for and asking questions.
Bookstr knows the ultimate power of stories is to build empathy and understanding of all people, and consequently, a better, more tolerant, and inclusive world. At the heart of everything we do, lies our ethos, our raison d’être – connecting people through celebrating love for all things bookish. Bookstr’s mission is to bring together people who love books, community, and connection; and offer a platform that gives voices to the historically voiceless, shining a light on diverse topics and stories that have been underrepresented. While reading a book can be a solitary experience, Bookstr makes the journey exciting by enabling readers to share their love for books, with an ever-growing vibrant community.
Publishizer will be hosting a live conversation with Charles Hamm on Wednesday, August 29th to celebrate the conclusion of our Summer 2024 theme, discuss his book Ponder on it, Pilgrims, and announce the Publishizer Fall 2024 Theme.
Rustic living doesn't mean rustic thinking
