I'm excited to start the first round of structural edits on one of the books we're hoping to publish later this year...

From February 19th we're open to all lgbtqia+ authors...

Thank you! We're stoked to have such a great debut set of books and authors!

Also doubly true today because we spent yesterday talking with another author we're signing. It was just a joy to share their enthusiasm and excitement...

...and then we started looking at our submissions synopses... 🔥

a story I return to every couple of months. Lily is a beautiful idiot you can’t help but loving

Rats, failed to add the alt-text to the image. It's a label printer that's spat out a 4"x6" test label. Heady stuff ;)

In the world's smallest and least exciting update, we're getting our shipping stuff set up... We have a working label printer now!

And my wife found the right search term for found the nicer packaging I've been hunting for... So I've ordered that for shipping.

Legit one of my favorite books of last year, and one I find myself thinking of fairly frequently. Lily’s journey, and the importance of her clan of queers, is so well told and so human.

Yeah, one of the joys of trying to keep everything in-house for... *waves arms at the world* reasons is trying to work around the limitations of a lot of the self-hostable storefront stuff. :-/

Thank you for bearing with it!

She really is the densest egg. I love Lily

I can't wait to read this story...
AGAIN

Y'all, this is one of the 🐐's imo, fwiw.

Also @zoestorm.bsky.social literally has 3 other stories set in the same universe!! 💗💗 (and loads of other excellent trans fics 👌😌)

The first time I read this, I immediately went back to page 1 and read it again, it was so good. Can’t wait to read the revised version!

Hi, it's released the 27th of this month. If you select an option you can preorder whatever flavor (epub, paperback, both) you want, and you'll get an email to pay for shipping (or with delivery) when it's released.

It frustrates me so much that people pretend that there's *nothing* the government could do other than full throatedly endorse FWS vs ScotGov. Incredibly clear that, when they want to, British governments are fully comfortable with the idea of making new primary legislation to overturn SC judgments.

We'll be sending The Heart of the Woods and Other Stories, and To Own the Libs to our printer today... So if you want to be certain to get a copy of the first print run from us, now's your chance...

Thank you for bearing with us - or in this case, more accurately, with Microsoft's quirks. The form's been tweaked to allow file upload and should work now, but please to let us know if you have any problems.

Unfortunately it says we can't - you're welcome to DM us (I believe we're set up to allow dms), or otherwise we'll have a look and fix the form in the morning :-/

Mind if I DM?

A reminder that we're #OpenForSubmissions. We're really excited to find fiction from new #BIPOC and #LGBTQIA+ authors!
