"Independent bookstores are the lifeline of the intellect. They have to remain strong, especially in difficult times like these." - Stephen King

Simon & Schuster is joining forces with Bookshop.org, an online bookstore and affiliate network with a mission to support independent booksellers, to raise awareness and facilitate online selling for local independent bookstores during the Coronavirus crisis. Small businesses, including book shops, have been particularly hard hit and Bookshop.org enables consumers to safely purchase books online, while still supporting their local neighborhood book stores.

Last week Stephen King received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Audio Publishers Association in recognition for his achievements in the audiobook industry at the 2020 Audie Awards. In his acceptance speech, King said of audiobooks: “I listen to my own books – the reason why is because you can hear everything you did right and everything you did wrong. This is the most honorable form of storytelling there is.” And there was even more reason to rejoice – the audiobook edition of THE INSTITUTE read by recent Tony Award-winning actor Santino Fontana (Tootsie) took home the award in the Thriller/Mystery category.
