It’s true! The Literature Lovers’ Holiday Auction, open through December 20, is auctioning off the opportunity to have a character named in your (or your loved one’s) honor. Proceeds will benefit Immigrant Families Together, an all-volunteer group working to reunite families separated at the border by the Trump administration’s policies. An awesome gift AND a donation to an organization doing good? Best. Gift. Ever.
Here are the seven authors participating in the auction, along with some of their previous works:
- Anna Quindlen, author of Black and Blue and Alternate Side
- Celeste Ng, author of Everything I Never Told You and Little Fires Everywhere

- Elin Hilderbrand, author of Barefoot and The Identicals
- Emma Straub, author of The Vacationers and Modern Lovers
- Jami Attenberg, author of All Grown Up and The Middlesteins
- Laura Lippman, author of Sunburn and What the Dead Know
