One of Chicago's best indies, @volumesbooks, is in danger of losing their home. I coerced 27 other writers into recreating the Breakfast Club dance with me when the fundraiser reached $35k. To quote You've Got Mail, "Save [the indies] and you will save your soul." #WeAreNotAlone pic.twitter.com/1rCx26DGoN
