6) Don’t Pirate

Want to make sure your favorite author is able to keep writing books? Don’t pirate books. Stealing books from your favorite authors makes it difficult for them to support themselves and their families. Purchasing books helps increase popularity by putting books on best seller lists and gives back to everyone (the writer, editor, cover designer, proofreader, publicist, etc.) who help create the stories you enjoy.
