“Saturday, February 22, 2025 – 9:00am to 1:00pm
Mystery Lovers Bookshop is pleased to announce that the 2025 Annual ARC Fundraiser will be held Saturday, February 22nd from 9am to 1pm.
All donations collected will benefit PEN America.
What is the Annual ARC Fundraiser:
As a bookseller we receive hundreds of Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) books from publishers. The books are for booksellers/purchasers to read and determine if they would like to carry the book in the store, a preview copy. We receive hundreds of these books a year! We read (as many as we can) and collect the ARCs all year in anticipation of this event. On February 22nd we will put these books out and you are invited to come and take them! We do ask that in return for your free books you make a donation that you determine and are comfortable with. ALL donations collected will be sent to PEN America…“

Founded by three publishing professionals in 2015, Littsburgh showcases Pittsburgh as a hub of literary talent and activity while serving as a resource to foster further collaboration and connection within Pittsburgh’s vibrant literary community.
Littsburgh is a passion project and has been since inception.
Because we’re self-powered, we’ve been able to continue promoting literary Pittsburgh without having to compromise our vision or our mission — and without having to close up shop because of lack of funding. Our goal is for Littsburgh to be here for the long haul… and we’re only getting bigger and better every year!
As our audience has grown, however, so have our operating costs: hosting is increasingly expensive, spreading the word about literary Pittsburgh to our readers via social media channels requires paid “boosts,” and we’re investing literally hundreds of volunteer hours into the site every year.
With a small donation, one time or (even better!) recurring, you can help ensure that Littsburgh continues to grow and thrive.
Help us spread the word about literary Pittsburgh!
