All the news from the misfits in print. | | No wit and wisdom to share this week, folks. Just a lot of gratitude for everyone who shared our new Care & Action bundle last week, or sent kind words, or is already mobilizing or providing support. We kept seeing Reddit threads, social posts, and more sharing zines and resources. Y'all rock. Please keep caring for each other, and we're here to help however we can. | | Submit Your Writing! We always accept submissions, but right now we're especially looking for submissions and pitches for books, zines, etc (but especially zines) teaching practical skills in these areas: | | | - Abortion, birth control, sex ed, and reproductive health
- Herbal medicine
- Gender medicine
- Queer and trans health, safety, and self-defense
- How-to projects for resilient living (like gardening, building, energy, food preservation, mutual aid, online safety)
- Activism and movement-building
- Writing, publishing, and creativity in difficult times
- Suicide prevention
Please, I beg you, do not reply to this email with a pitch. I am a humble marketing manager, and have no control over editorial schtuff. | | Our Sacred Cycle on Kickstarter Apparently it's already mid-November, and the Kickstarter project for Our Sacred Cycle wraps tomorrow! If you haven't yet checked it out, OSC is gorgeous, affirming workbook geared toward helping folks who deal with PMS, PMDD, and other menstrual shenanigans reclaim their period. You still have time to back it! | | | Totally Random Hey if you want to dissociate while also seeing a snippet of the like, ten thousand books we have on our site, clicking the Totally Random button on the front page could certainly be a use of your time. We have some interesting, weird, and cool sh*t. | | | | Edelweiss! It's a valuable tool for publishers, booksellers, and other industry folks. Buyers use it all the time to research and bring in books to their stores and libraries. How does a publisher break through all the noise, make their products stand out, and make sure buyers are able to easily find what they're looking for? This week on the pod, we're sharing a little bit of a presentation marketing manager (and former bookseller) Abby (that's me!) gave this year on how booksellers and buyers use Edelweiss, and some things publishers can keep in mind as they list titles. Watch the vlog here, or listen here. | | $25 Pack: Be Your Own Damn Gourmet Vegan Chef There are a lot of cookin' holidays coming up. Want to stock up on vegan recipes to impress your people with? This pack includes *4* books (I know, there's only three in the pic),- Think, Eat Act, This Ain't No Picnic, Mama Tried, and Culpeper's Complete Herbal. Learn from some of our best cookbook authors whose mad cheffing skills will amaze you, as you learn to work magic, for yourself, your date, or a whole crowd of hungry people with keen taste buds. Yum. | | | Oh last thing- we know a lot of folks are leaving Twitter for Blue Sky in wake of *gestures vaguely at the state of the world.* We've been there for a bit (if slightly inactive because I forgot about it for a few months) and it's a good vibe. You can follow us if you want. Our Twitter will still be up for the time being, but we're probably going to be there less often. | | | | |
