SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY 2023! A Day to Support and Celebrate Small Businesses! Plus Annual CHANTICLEER CYBER SALE
Small Business Saturday

Saturday, November 25, 2023 is Small Business Saturday – a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities. This year, we know that small businesses need our support now more than ever as they navigate, retool and pivot from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

Chanticleer Reviews and Media is a small business based out of Bellingham, Wash., with an international reach thanks to the Internet. Chanticleer reflects the new era of publishing and content creation for today’s global market of readers and consumers. We began with the advent of digital publishing (e-pubs/digital books) in 2011 that opened up the traditional boundaries of the publishing industry. As with the Gutenberg Press, digital publishing marks a major shift in the art of bookmaking, distribution of written works, and content creation. We are proud and humbled to be play a tiny part of this major shift in the publishing industry. It is from your support, dear Clients, that we are able to do so. Thank you!

The Chanticleer Team, from our Home Office Staff, to our Editorial Team, Professional Reviewers, CIBA Team and Judges, Publishing Team, and Community Builders, is dedicated to helping writers achieve their publishing goals. Our clientele hail from across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, India, Japan, Malta, Portugal, Denmark, Hungary, Spain, Turkey, Scotland, Germany, France, Ireland, Scandinavia, Cypress, New Zealand, Australia, and other nations.

We are truly a “local business with international reach.” We are honored each year when the Chanticleer Community comes together for the Chanticleer International Book Awards Ceremony and Banquet that takes place in April—a truly special event that fosters many new friendships and connections. We are a small independently-owned-business, but it is the individual members of the Chanticleer Community of Writers that makes us mighty.

In the spirit of SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY, we encourage you to shop at your local bookstores and booksellers, to purchase your favorite Indie authors’ works, and to shop at small businesses and your local shops.

Village Books is our local bookseller here in Bellingham, Wash. They are having a great sale also (in-Store and CYBER).

Along with being known as a top twenty bookstore in the U.S., VB is also the Official Book Manager of the annual Chanticleer Authors Conference

and promotes the winners of the annual Chanticleer International Book Awards in their two storefronts.

You will find us at Booth 210. The convention hosts approximately one thousand exhibitor booths and tables. That is a LOT of exhibitors!

The exhibit floor is open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Meanwhile there are plenty of break-out sessions (perhaps a thousand or so) to choose from to attend. Many of them are quite esoteric such as:

So, one could say that it is quite the “literary conference.” Many universities are present trying to lure new students into their MFA or MLA programs. Bellingham’s own Western Washington University will be there along with University of Washington. Also, the classic colleges are also represented such as Sarah Lawrence College.

We exhibit at AWP because 1) we are proud members of the venerable organization, 2) Our Chanticleer Review magazine is in the company of others such as the Harvard Review, The Chestnut Review, Prairie Schooner, and the American Literary Review.

And then there are the quirky literary magazines that make the AWP scene so wonderful: Bullsh*t Lit, Door is A Jar Literary Magazine, and Typewriter Tarot to name a few.

Many small presses are also represented.

Minding the Gaps and Mining Landscape in Linked Short Story Collections (Ramona Reeves, Leslie Pietrzyk, Camille Acker, Rion Amilcar Scott, Toni Ann Johnson)

Linked short story collections have become more popular, perhaps in part because of their hybrid nature. They can employ recurring themes, characters, and settings to situate readers in worlds that move beyond the borders of many short stories while stopping short of the breadth and propulsion of a novel. Minding the gaps, or the spaces, is key in writing linked story collections. How does space function between and within linked collections, and what stories does one choose to tell and why?
