I have spent the day creating swag, and huge kudos to my lovely graphic design friend who's helping us with getting our bun-on-scholar-snail marginalia improved to print better...
One of the most tear-jerking lines of all time.

Beware of @zoestorm.bsky.social’s To Own the Libs! It’s a gateway drug!

It is ridiculously pleasing having bookstores across the world now responding positively to our sell sheets. If you see our books in the wild in shops, please share with us!
Welp, second round of marketing off and out into the real world. Let's hope we can get some more indie bookstores stocking us for pride!
I know we've been quiet this week. I spent the week finessing sell-sheets and prepping stuff for a bit of a marketing push next month which has taken a lot of time... Also we're working on a printer for Pollination which is terribly exciting.
As someone who's worked a lot of jobs where if you're not physically doing something you're not really working, persuading myself that 'reading a really great submission' is work is hard. But someone's gotta read it.
Another late night - this time working on Sell Sheets to send to bookstores that request them. One is kinda done (Proofing to do). 2 more to go.
It’s gotta be @transcect.bsky.social’s novel _Bottle Blondes_ published by @antithesis-press.bsky.social It’s a very clever t4m romance! One of my favorite books of 2025! antithesispress.com/product/bott...

John Wiswell@wiswell.bsky.social · 3mo agoDo me a favor. Respond or quote this with the most recent piece of media (book, short story, album, painting, statue, game, anything) by a *trans creator* that you loved. Drop a link. Boost their signal.
Okay! Monday's main task completed - getting our accounts up-to-date for April. Wild excitement, I know.
Incidentally, we'll be at the IBPA publishing university this year, so if there's any other small publisher folks who have any advice on what sessions to go to there, we'd love to hear it. We want to spend some time learning. About marketing because I know that's one of my areas of opportunity.
A reminder that our excellent selection of books are available to order pretty much anywhere that sells books - as well as directly from us... Links in the thread. #lgbtqia #fiction #smallpress

Transphobes Can't Read@lordaslan.bsky.social · 3mo agoOh wow really
Get one before they’re gone. Absolutely one of my favorite books of 2025, this clever straight t4m romance riffs on Twelfth Night and Much Ado About Nothing.

I think the drum on our laser printer either needs cleaning or is in need of replacement. ☠️ Fingers crossed cleaning it does the trick :-/
...I just sent out two contracts to *fingers crossed* our newest authors. Also, we've still got two submissions to read which look really exciting.
It was definitely mine, so I have to agree. I was so affected by it, the moment I finished it I went back to page 1 and read it all again!
