Ok, #fedibrain - How cool would it be to have a book by @pluralistic like Little Brother illustrated by @davidrevoy ?

If such a collaboration already exists, please point me to where I can buy it!

Twitter used to be our main marketing tool--the primary way we sold books online and got the word out.

These days, not so much.

Please help support us and our authors with a signal boost! We are an independent publisher based in Chennai with books on folklore from different parts of India, graphic novels, ghost encyclopedias, weird horror, pulp fiction in translation, and some pretty strange little zines.

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”
-Isaac Asimov (Today is his day.)

We've been getting reports from bookstores that The Terraformers is sold out at the warehouses! First of all, thanks to everyone who snapped up this weird book! Second, if you are trying to buy it, there will be more copies coming soon! Currently you can still order signed copies from @foliosf in the US. And of course the audiobook and ebook are always there for you. ✨💕🦌#books #bookstodon


Appropos of something, here are 8 magic school books NOT by a racist, billionaire TERF:

✨In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan
✨The Marvellers by Dhonielle Clayton
✨SuperMutant Magic Academy by Jillian Tamaki
✨It Ends in Fire by Andrew Shvarts
✨Year of the Griffin by Diana Wynne Jones
✨Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
✨A College of Magics by Caroline Stevermer

My personal fave is In Other Lands which is queer and heartwarming and so much fun 🥰🌈 #Bookstodon


I may need to take this quote to heart.

"Think not of the books you've bought as a 'to be read' pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood." - Luc van Donkersgoed, as quoted at https://www.instagram.com/p/CnBV6PqPxZm/

The TBR pile is dead! Long live the #BookCellar!

HarperCollins Union is on day 39 of their strike with no word from HarperCollins execs.

so this is just a reminder that a better entry pay in publishing makes working in publishing more accessible for people who come from systematically marginalized backgrounds. In turn that means we will also see more diverse books being acquired for us to read.

Higher pay is good for ALL OF US and HarperCollins execs have been unwilling to come to the bargaining table.

As a little girl, I only ever saw people like me in books about Thanksgiving, written by white people.
This is how my bookstore, Paperbacks & Frybread came to be.
We launched online March of this year, vowing to help families of all kinds have easier access to THEIR stories and other #diverse & inclusive #reads.
It has been the most joy curating our selection and hearing feedback from people who didn’t realize there were #books and #authors with people just like them.
