Until consensus turns that Emily's years of actions against white supremacy in genre spaces are the reason she is consistently attacked, this account will be run by her mods for her safety and to share projects dear to her. If you'd like to support Emily, please join her Discord, link on her site.

Ha, the downvotes on my cover are sneaking up. I would be so honored for you to read my words. This poetry collection took me 50 years to create, and I am very proud of it. I feel blessed, truly blessed, to finally be the storyteller I always needed to be. ❤️ #BookSky

I am going to miss Mt. Baker and not just because it’s presumably named after Stewart but because it has such a diva personality. Sometimes it hides, sometimes it peeks, sometimes it plays, sometimes it brags. Currently braggin’.

It's not true. As I've told you, I've tried to obstruct misogynoir and transphobia and have years of receipts they won't look at. It's clear I can't convince people at this point, so I'm not going to engage. The press will make a plan forward and it clearly can't rely on Ang-NA genre at this point.

I can't read the Sanford article (I think I'm blocked? not sure) but I assure you it's not true. I don't harass him. I don't talk to him. He's never once listened to me or seen my evidence. This is a very very bad thing to do and I hope people see that.

As an award-winning data analyst and strategist in my past life, and someone recently featured in Publishers Weekly for my activism, I can tell you you're never going to solve author income through sales channel analysis. It's who holds the microphone and whether we're allowed to talk about it.

The survey found that only 25% of print books and e-books read in the past month were bought new or through a paid subscription, with readers increasingly turning to low- or non-royalty generating channels to access authors’ work.

Just found out it's his birthday! If you're nervous reposting me for your safety, just grab the link and post it, say you heard it was interesting. Kenn was as brave as he is kind to write this book, preserving what he can. If you can, please send love.

E.D.E. Bell@edebell.com · 2mo ago

I've hopefully picked up a few readers for Tell Them here in Vancouver. It means a lot to Kenn to know people have found peace from his stories while he's still with us on Mother Earth, so if anyone reads and wants me to pass that along (or send the FB page) please let me know! #BookSky #Indigenous

E.D.E. Bell@edebell.com · 2mo ago

Ah! I didn't realize it's his birthday? Share the link, buy the book, give this beautiful man some birthday joy? #BookSky Other than the obvious retailer, sales are made directly to an Indigenous Elder Medicine Man who has spent his life giving and healing. It's a *fascinating* read.

I'm grateful Mom's rental has a washer, but also realizing I'll be smelling like Tide the rest of the trip is such a strange cultural note. No one has to smell like Tide! I advocate for our liberation!

Vancouver is such a beautifully global city, I'm also trying to tell people I chat with about @globalvoices.org - if you haven't checked them out and/or offered support, I really hope you will. Sharing articles with thoughts is free and helpful too!

This week I was blessed to hear the authentic story of Chinatown from someone who visited it from Taiwan while working on shipping lines at age twenty and was so overwhelmed by Vancouver culture, he decided to stay. I'm so excited to go there, to the gardens and shops, this morning! Garden pics?

Here's something happy. Do you know that together, between the African Translation Project and the In Translation Storybundle, we generated $17,550 in donations and sales direct to global small presses, excluding one-book posthumous sales to Atthis Arts and excluding the donation to Global Voices?
