A few photos from @MidwestBooksellers Spring Road Trip! @republicofletters.bsky.social Mineral Point, WI is a beautiful town, and the #MIBA conference was so well run!! #indiessupportingindies #indiepublishing #indiebooksellers

Our brilliant typesetter sent us proofs today and I wholeheartedly admit that seeing a manuscript begin to physically become A Real Book makes me feel proud and weepy. As publishers, we are so lucky to be a part of the story. #indiepublishing #indieauthor #typesetting #YayTypeSettersAreSoCool

100% - if we want indie bookstores we need to shop indie bookstores (same logic: if we want indie presses we need to shop indie presses, if we want diverse books we need to shop diverse books...) #kidlit

Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, according to many election analysts. This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state. The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin. This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

BREAKING NEWS: Susan Crawford WINS the Wisconsin Supreme Court election DEFEATING Elon Musk puppet Brad Schimel! Congratulations Judge Crawford!

The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite. My full interview here:

Book Bans S&ck. Here are just a few resources to push back.

Our books have never been sold at Target - large corps do not care about indie authors or publishers. Frankly, Target, unless there is a big change in your policies, we're not interested in your business (and you're not getting ours). www.cnbc.com/2025/03/04/t...

Celebrating International Women's Day, 2025. #womensday2025 #celebratewomen #womenauthors #womenentrepreneurs #indiepublishing #indieauthors

Women’s rights are human rights — this isn’t just a slogan, it’s a lived reality. Happy #InternationalWomensDay! #IWD2025

Classroom censorship denies students the right to see themselves reflected in what they’re taught, to form their own opinions, and to express themselves.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

are folks unaware of how difficult it is for indie authors to get indie bookshops to even touch their books? indie bookshops sell mostly trad books. so telling an indie author to ‘sell in an indie bookshop’ is kinda frustrating when they often decline to stock anything not trad or successful.
