As the holiday season approaches, we’re excited to invite NHWP members to participate in our 2025 Holiday Showcase. This curated guide will feature members’ books, creating a unique way to reach readers looking for thoughtful gifts and new reads during the festive season.

Here’s everything you need to know—and why you’ll want to be part of it!

What is the NHWP Holiday Showcase?

The Holiday Showcase is designed to highlight NHWP members’ books in a beautiful, cohesive collection, styled to celebrate the unique stories and voices within our community. Each book entry will feature colors that complement your cover art, creating a visually appealing showcase that stands out. The guide goes live on November 26th and will be promoted across NHWP’s platforms through December 24th, giving each featured book a full month of exposure.
