If you read print books or just enjoy collecting bookmarks from your favorite authors, we’ve got a gift for you that you are going to love!
The amazing Erica Vetsch is coordinating a fanstic bookmark giveaway with donations from over 20 of your favorite Christian fiction authors, and all you need is a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a mailbox.

Here are the instructions:
Send a Self-Addressed, Stamped Envelope (SASE) to:
Mossflower Digital Services
3460 Marion Road SE
Rochester MN 55904
We will fill that envelope with bookmarks and return it to you! It’s that easy!

A few guidelines, disclaimers, and details:
- You must send your own envelope, with your address written legibly and an appropriate stamp already affixed. This ensures your bookmarks will get to you safely!
- First come, first served! The giveaway lasts through September 30th or while supplies last. If you want to ensure you get bookmarks, don’t delay!
- Use a long #10/business envelope to ensure your bookmarks won’t get folded or bent during delivery.
- Looking for a specific author’s bookmark? We can’t guarantee that you will receive a particular author or style of bookmark. But we do promise that each bookmark you get will be unique! No duplicates in your envelope!
- When in doubt, add an extra stamp! We can send about seven bookmarks for one US Forever stamp. Adding an extra stamp MIGHT mean (but does not guarantee) that you get a few bonus bookmarks!
- The Authors and Mossflower Digital Services are not responsible for lost mail. We will do all in our power to make sure your bookmarks get to you safely, but some things are out of our hands!
Here’s a list of participating authors:

Thank you for this giveaway! A strange bookmark for me was a rubber flower given to me my daughter.
Hope you’re feeling better. Have a wonderful day.
That’s a new one for me, Betty. A rubber flower. I like it. 🙂
The strangest thing I’ve used as a bookmark was something I found in a used paperback I bought. It was a Christmas photo of a family dressed in matching nightgowns and pajamas. I did not recognize them–but it was an interesting photo that stirred my imagination.
How funny to find something like that left behind. I’ve found a few receipts or other paper scraps left behind in library books, but never a family photo.
I don’t remember if I did this or if this is a figment of my imagination, but bailing twine. And my most recent was a Culver’s scoopie token that’s on the back of the kids meal bags
Very creative, Makayla. 🙂 Just about anything will make do in a pinch, right?
What a fun idea!!
The readers really seem to enjoy it. She’s done it 2-3 years now, I think. 🙂
