A July 4 Gift from Brian Tyler Cohen

In honor of Independence Day, here's a small token of appreciation.

I’d like to offer a small token of appreciation for everyone who kindly subscribes to this newsletter. As you might know, my new book, The Day After, is now available for pre-order. I know that a signed copy makes a book that much more special, so I’d like to offer you exactly that.

Here are the instructions (they’re important). First, you have to pre-order The Day After between now and July 13 (the pre-order period). Any books ordered after the pre-order period won’t be eligible. You can find pre-order options here (I recommend independent bookstores on that list but all of the retailers are fine).

Once you’ve pre-ordered, you must fill out this form. Once you’ve submitted that form, my publisher will be sending hand-signed bookplates out (only to US addresses) shortly after the book arrives. Once you receive the bookplate, you can remove the back to expose the sticky side and stick it inside the book.

Alternatively, if you live in/near DC, New York, or Los Angeles, I’ll be signing books in person on my book tour. So please grab tickets to join me on July 14 in DC, July 15 in NY, or July 18 in LA.

A little background on the book. The Day After is a blueprint for how Democrats can and must wield power in a way that doesn’t simply restore the status quo, but seeks to rebuild our government with a particular focus on outcomes. If there’s one lesson that we can learn from Trump, it’s that our institutions are not as sacrosanct as we once believed. But unlike Trump, we can overcome those barriers for virtuous reasons. As opposed to self-enrichment and the consolidation of power, we can deliver universal healthcare, we can combat climate change, we can expand voting rights, we can create a just economy. In fact, as I argue, we must.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I must say, for an English major who could only dream of one day being an author, I am eternally grateful for those of you who are kind enough to support my writing. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
