Thanks Gabino!
Good For Her: An Anthology of Female Rage (eds. me, @shaunamceleney.bsky.social & @sarahjuleswriting.bsky.social) is out on the 30th - and available for preorder now
Very proud to say, I've also got a story in this, as have my fellow editors @shaunamceleney.bsky.social and @sarahjuleswriting.bsky.social
We'd love you to check it out and help us raise some money for Sisters Uncut - a nonprofit taking direct action against gender-based violence & state violence
Does anyone have any experience relaunching a book?
We're tempted to rerelease Feathers, a haunted house book I wrote a while back
@kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social did an amazing job w/ the cover - but the bird/wand/witch artwork hasn't aged well, post-TERF wizard lady
Any thoughts/tips?
