Subscription boxes are The Thing, and we here at WriteOnCon are not immune to the appeal. Far from it. Faaaaaar from it.
So when we started putting together a blog post for holiday gifts, we decided to include a few book boxes.
But, um… things got out of hand.
So we’re just gonna give them to you in a separate entry. Enjoy!
All the book boxes marked with a (*) are offering special limited-time discounts for supporters of our fundraiser, so get in on that!
Just a note: Keep in mind that the industry term “kidlit” encompasses everything from picture books to young adult. We’ve put together this list with that in mind.
