I talked to Zukiswa last night, who was up during drone attacks at sea. She is zero surprised that we couldn't get to our needed goal because white men and popular writers are pretending not to see this project. Still, I hoped we could tell her otherwise. (1/6)

We are coming up with a plan. If anyone has $1075 to drop or gather and get us back on track, that would be a lovely message to deliver. AfricanTranslationProject on ko-fi. We have not yet told Ahmad Simba Mwaita his book is cut. We'll need to soon unless something changes fast. (2/6)

Also - the Ulla Thynell 2026 calendar will be up for sale soon. And more joy, more love, more community - *always*. Follow @atthisarts.com, check out the catalog, sign up for emails, all here: atthisarts.com (6/6)

More soon on our two upcoming novellas: the wonderful Hornytown Chutzpah by Andrew Hiller and Ex Partum by emma burnett. We love these stories and we will fight to bring them to you. We will always fight. (5/6)

As for Hornytown Chutzpah, we love this book. We know we owe the Kickstarter supporters an update, but we've been processing our emotions. Atthis Arts stands with this project. We'll find a way to make the audiobook. We were hoping to pay up front, but we also won't let sadpup disinfo stop us. (4/6)

Meanwhile, Zukiswa, now at sea, is journaling her experience with tremendous bravery and honesty. Here is the first entry: www.instagram.com/p/DO9stBqCLc... (3/6)

This artwork took 6+ hours to make, part of a personal series with years of prep work behind it. I donated 'Tree Guardian: Rooted Resonance' to this project with love & hope to see more community-driven support for global storytelling. Last hours to share/support: ko-fi.com/africantrans... 💙📚

Highly recommend browsing through the full art shop (I was able to get a few pieces & thoroughly enjoyed them!). Getting something from the art shop is a great way to support this initiative and add to your libraries/collections. It all goes to supporting humans making art 💚

All funds for this go directly to Zukiswa of Paivapo Publishing in S. Africa, who's curating the translations of these 3 powerful stories from the region 💙📚 Works in translation have added so much to my understand of what languages/stories can do. Excited for these books! ko-fi.com/africantrans...

Andrew's a good guy, and this seems like a really fun book; it would be great to see this get funded!

!! A couple of hours left to fund the human translation, from Kiswahili into English, of Ahmad Simba Mwaita's 'The World and Its People.' There's also an art shop! The phone wallpaper art I made in support of this is *only* available here: ko-fi.com/africantrans... 💙📚 #BookSky #SupportArtists

When detective Sol Weiss investigates a muder in Hell he may just discover that orange is the new red. 2 hours left on the fundraiser. $916 to go. www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

HEY here's a book about spraying an orange bully with a lot of *liquid* and it's very much in danger of not funding. Also it's funny. I'm hearing you like funny. ahhhhhhhhhhh come on 2 hours #Kickstarter #BookSky www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

Come on fam, we can shake enough $$ out of *someone* on here in the next couple hours

Will toss it out there. Someone buys the original painting, this funds. Right now. Everyone breathes. And you look like a visionary when the Hornytown Capers or a thing. Or, you just look like a mensch right now. Whichever appeals.

Just a few more hours to go! I’ve donated a few times (and just again now). If you can spare a few dollars, this is a great project to support

3 hours left to fund the case. A sheyd is framed for murder. The cops are closing in. To solve the case, the detective trying has to go into hell. He arms himself with a supersoaker loaded with Manischewitz. Who Framed Roger Rabbit x Stanislaw Lem. www.kickstarter.com/projects/att... 🙏

Hornytown Chutzpah is much closer to musical comedy than melodrama. That said, "One day more (for the fundraiser)" Let's show them what "Little People Can Do!" Don't let me be "On My Own!" It ends at 11pm EST. Please spread the word and help if your heart urges www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

Red. Red. Red. Red. Red. Red. Orange. Pick up the blue. Pick up the blue. Stop it. This is no time to sing Sunday in the Park with George. There are only five hours left to the crowdfunder. There are authors standing with you! Keep it together, Drew! (3/3) www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

From Les Mis to Man of La Mancha to Avenue Q Time is growing short to fund our novella for monsters. Please help. Eight hours left! www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

We've come so far. I don't know if Atthis planned this intentionally, but I am glad that this crowdfunder will end almost before Rosh Hashanah starts. L'shana tova. May all of us enjoy a year full of peace, opportunity, friendship, and love. I know this year has been too hard on too many. Hugs.

Follow our editor for ALL DAY RALLY DAY. We can do this!

Need 11 backers to reach 100. Thanks to everyone who has given my little Who Framed Roger Rabbit X Michael Chabon's Yiddish Policeman's Union a shot. Writing is not a solo endeavor. It takes a community of beta readers, editors, artists, and readers. www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

Ok, back home and here's where we're at. TOMORROW. Need $1346 for Ahmad's translation (Paivapo Press) Need $1334 for Andrew and Alicia's audiobook (Atthis Arts) I am going to go SO HARD tomorrow but also ... do you really need to make me? 😭 heelllllpp

Please hump our book.

BOOK RELEASE THREAD! This soup was new. Spicy and sweet. Full of dried beef. Not one of Leena’s usual. “What’d Amnandi do to get Leena to try this recipe?” “She asked.” “Ha!” Skye raised her mug of wine. “To our young, who change worlds with a simple *please*.”

In recent days, my mom expressed concern about Hornytown Chutzpah not because of the confusing title or because I'm placing Hell in Washington, D.C., but because she worried that I was outing myself as a Jew. I don't think she's right about that. Don't let her be right about that. Click the pic

We're thrilled that a backer wants to *send someone to Hell* hahahaha... Want to work with the author to craft your own demon? For um, *whatever* reason you may have? We're going to need some support for this to fund. Join us?

BOOSTING! C'mon, we can do this. I have seen projects fund overnight. Why can't these?! Do it, people.

This genre bending noir, "Hornytown Chutzpah" has legs, and this kickstarter may be as suspenseful as the book- but the book is funnier. Here's what other people say www.nerds-feather.com/2025/09/book... Want to help the audiobook get across the finish line? www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...
