Support military-affiliated small business owners this holiday season by purchasing gifts from verified entrepreneurs including military service members, veterans, & spouses.
Military Families Magazine, in conjunction with The Rosie Network, has published its 2022 Holiday Shopping Guide where you can find Rainwater Press listed among the more than 180 businesses owned by service members, veterans, and military spouses. Categories include Books, Clothing, Accessories, Home Decor, Self-Care, Food, Coffee, Spirits, Fitness, Families, Kids, and Pets.
Each business in the Holiday Guide has been verified by The Rosie Network / Military Families Magazine so you know you’re supporting a bona fide military-owned small business when you purchase gifts using the links listed in the directory. This is the first year Rainwater Press is featured in the guide and I am super excited to be included alongside other military-affiliated businesses such as R. Riveter (handbags made by military spouses) and K9 Salute (a natural dog treat company that gives back to military working dogs).
To celebrate our inclusion in this year’s directory, prices for all four books in the Since You Went Away series are still 25% off! We had one of our best-ever sales months in November with this promotion so I’ve decided to keep the sale going into the holiday shopping season. (Discount applies for both print and ebooks, at Amazon only.)
Military Families Magazine is owned by AmeriForce Media, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business founded in 1999. The magazine makes use of talent from the military community to provide content that informs, entertains, and supports today’s service members and their families. The Rosie Network, founded in 2012, is a non-profit organization that promotes the entrepreneurial efforts of veterans and military spouses.
