Remember my lil paper prototype book display?! It’s real now! I finished the third one today and I have one more to make tomorrow. Then there will be lots of sanding to make them nice and smooth. What do you think of them?
That's your reminder that I put together quarterly lists of upcoming SFFH releases by small presses. I started working on the Q4 2026 lists already. If you have a book coming out this October, November, or December, fill out the form available at the link in the quoted post 👇
Millie Abecassis@millieabecassis.com · 2mo agoI'm putting together quarterly lists of forthcoming SFFH books published by small presses. I do my best to find the info but I can't possibly know every press or release, so I have a submission form. Please share broadly with small pubs, authors, and everyone & their dog so I don't miss a release 👇
We want readers to find our titles in indie bookstores. To do that… we need to know who is stocking them! If you have our books in stock, let us know! If you want to order some- reach out! Either way, we’ll add you to our “Find Shiraki Press books” page on our website! #bookseller #bookstore
A few weeks ago I had the surreal experience of doing my author headshots and the very talented photographer took a person who wears sweatpants and workout clothes 95% of the time and made them look like this 🙇
The Patreon has unfortunately dropped below the level where I'm able to get all the care I need. We finally live in a place where I can access it...and cost remains a barrier. I can't get help without the Patreon. If you're a writer, a reader, remotely interested in my work, or just want to help:
