Staying Home? Worldbuilders Will Send A Book – Operation Bookdrop2020 Announced by Patrick Rothfuss

Worldbuilders, the geeks doing good non-profit founded by New York Times best-selling fantasy author Patrick Rothfuss, announces Operation BookDrop 202o.

“Before I left town a couple of weeks ago, I asked our Worldbuilders team to come up with some ideas for how we could make life a little easier  for people who are staying home due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Rothfuss. “They came up with a program we call #BookDrop2020: We will ship books – free of charge – helping to ease the burden and provide some entertainment during these difficult times.”

“We are grateful for Humble Bundle Proceeds, which has generously provided funding to pay for the initial shipping costs.” continued Rothfuss. “We are asking other Worldbuilders partners to join Operation Bookdrop2020 for additional resources. When I get back, I’m going to help with a few more ideas of how to expand on this version of geeks doing good, and if you have ideas like this, you should email them to geeksdoinggood@worldbuilders.org ”
