Hello!
I’m the Chicago-based author of “The 500 Hidden Secrets of Chicago” (Luster Publishing, 2023). Part of Luster’s popular “500 Hidden Secrets” series, my book is a best-selling guide to 500 of Chicago’s “hidden secrets” including places to eat, drink, sleep, dance, recreate, and so forth.
The book has been featured by pretty much every local media outlet (Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, WGN, WBEZ, WCIU, WTTW, Chicago Magazine, etc.) and is available at most bookstores around town, as well as many major tourism gift shops. Fun fact: It’s also the official guidebook for all incoming Chicago Blackhawks players: a copy of the book is included in all incoming hockey players’ welcome bags. (Thanks, Danny Wirtz!)
I’m reaching out to gauge interest in including my book in any like-minded goodie bags or tourism guides for visiting media, etc. Because of the book’s small format, it’s quite easy to slip it into a small satchel to carry around town while exploring after hours.
I hope to hear from someone if there’s interest! I have a direct line for ordering copies of the book at a discounted rate from my publisher.
Thanks kindly for your consideration either way,
Lauren Viera
