It’s that time again where we’re not seeing enough pitches for #BronxBookFest. I’m tired of having the team reach out to publishers for pitches. We try not to go direct to artists b/c we’re not in a financial capacity to cover travel & lodging b/c of budget constraints.

..........please forgive us for this promo but we have partnered with the LA Public Library to give away a complete collection of our Octavia Butler deluxe edition hardcovers. Winners will be announced this Friday, July 20th (the day that Parable begins): mailchi.mp/sevenstories/b…

In 1998, Octavia Butler warned that the US would enter into a 30 year period of chaos, starting around 2015, during which America would elect a christofascist president named “Donner” who uses the slogan “make America great again.” And that’s why you read small press books!!
