My third/final review for 100 Notable Small Press Books! I found this book from @catapultbooks.bsky.social very original. It feels new/unique while talking about very prominent topics. The way social media was incorporated was so fun. Read the review and check out the other books!

This is as exciting as a book launch.

Highly recommend finding kickass reviewers to champion 100 great books across a diverse array of authors, genres, and small presses. 10/10.

An acceptance from one of my dream journals today. First of the year. I guess good things do take time (unfortunately).

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❀️

Did you know MARCH is a FREE SUB month? 😍 If you're planning to submit, we suggest doing it early! Sometimes we have to shut 'em down early due to a rad but overwhelming response. AKA: when our Submittable maxes out 😭 buff.ly/32k496o
