🫂 We wouldn't have been able to do any of this without you.

Love Sage💚, Sarah🖤, and Viv💜

We have so many people to thank but want to extend our deepest gratitude to Ben from Tattered Cover Aspen Grove, Roxanne from Haunted Burrow Books, Triumvirate Books, Slashic Horror Press, and Amber Hathaway for your tremendous support.

🙏Thank you so much to everyone who blurbed or reviewed our books this year, the stores and outlets who have supported us, as well as artists Lazarus Klein and Nick Dunkenstein for your friendship and camaraderie.

We collaborated with more people we can count, created a team of dedicated folx who donate their time to Pride with a Bite out of pure passion, and jumped more hurdles than we can count... and came out on the other side.

- We acquired author Jake Vanguard's upcoming cannibalistic horromance novella.

- E.E.W. Christman had a signing and event with Sage in Denver, CO, and a signing at Haunted Burrow Books in Seattle, WA.

- "Waxing Off: A Novella" by E.E.W. Christman was published in October - a vicious, romantic tale about queer werewolves fighting TERFs. Written by an author in the Pacific Northwest, this novella highlights "the werewolves Twilight neglected to mention, but should have been the focus all along." 💚

- "Through the Realm of the Vacant Prince: A Queer Poetry Collection" by Lowell Jameson was our first book by a single author published in May. This collection is a searing look at parenthood, relationships, pregnancy, and more by a very talented transgender author.

- "We Bite Back" sold 250+ copies and raised ~$500 USD for Human Rights Campaign.

🎊2025 Wrapped🥳

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support of our publisher, authors and artists this year! It was our first full year as a publisher, and we couldn't be more thankful for everyone we have had the pleasure to work with.

Big ol' 🧵 incoming!

In Memory of Matt Mason I first met Matt Mason in the fall of 2024. At the time, we had an ezine called A Bite of Pride, and he had applied to be a staff writer. Since we were both on the asexual spectrum and emphasized how horror can be healing and cathartic, we hit it off immediately! Since then, even when we dissolved our ezine and staff writers, Matt Mason was such a wonderful friend and support.
