Sorry if we’re becoming annoying, with our exhortations to subscribe to our little chapbooks. But hey, we need you. And besides, we’re relatively new here and it’s harder to make friends than it used to be on the old Twitter! Anyway, we’re a tiny Indy press, looking for short story lovers. #BookSky
Sunburnt Saints Publishing@sunburntsaints.bsky.social · 3w agoA reminder that subscriptions are open. Why subs rather than sell the books individually? Because it creates a community. It helps planning & investment. It supports writers (all our writers are paid). It’s 20 quid. 4 books, one per quarter. 4 original stories. We’d love your support. Thank you.
