Hey @marchxness.bsky.social fans...keep your eyes peeled to this site ( and our Instagram, www.instagram.com/splitlippress/ ) on Monday because that's MARCH XNESS ANTHOLOGY COVER REVEAL DAY and we'll also be opening for preorders!!!

Last day of our Five Questions with @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social and we agree: you'll have a lot of feels after finishing GRAPHIC RAGE. We're about to do a third (3rd!) print run, so make sure you place your order now! www.splitlippress.com/graphic-rage

We asked @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social what the recipe for GRAPHIC RAGE was...

We're so excited to welcome two new readers to the 2025 SLP Nonfiction reading team! Joining our returning NF readers Cavar, August, Tucker, E. Ce, Keene, and Maxwell ( and our fantastic NF editor @athenadixon.bsky.social ), please say hello to @silkjazmyne.bsky.social and @jerxiong.bsky.social !

Day 3 of our Five Questions with @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social sch and she is making me post this graphic with an anglerfish on it--me, a person who refuses to go beyond ankle-deep in the ocean SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF CREATURES LIKE THESE! Thanks, Aubrey. Just buy GRAPHIC RAGE, y'all.

I’m not in the desert anymore, so that’s a lie, but the rest of the video is totally true. I have a novella coming out in February called Krackle’s Last Movie, which is being published by Split/Lip Press! @splitlippress.com

We've got another question for @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social (and this was a hard one in a book full of bangers!)

Good morning and HAPPY FALL! We had five questions for @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social about her forthcoming book GRAPHIC RAGE (out October 7!) and Aubrey drew her responses <3 www.splitlippress.com/graphic-rage

THIS IS TODAY! Use code EQUINOX to get 50% off YOUR ENTIRE ORDER! splitlippress.com/store

I don't think anyone's figured out how best to keep promoting a book once it's no longer brand new (if you have, lemme know!), but SGC is in great company on Split/Lip's backlist. And wow, look at that, this weekend you can get 2 SGCs for the price of 1 (16 cow legs total): bsky.app/profile/spli...

my 1st book, Sister Golden Calf, was released 2 years ago today by @splitlippress.com. I don't think anyone can predict how a book launch will go, but I got real lucky with the Split/Lip team & the events I got to do in Portland w/ David Naimon, Alissa Hattman, Thea Prieto, & Bishop & Wilde Books

As we state in our press mission, we want to see the dark AND the light side of the moon. We're embracing the fall equinox a day early with a HALF OFF sale on 9/21! Preorders: check! Ebooks: check! Backlist AND frontlist: check! www.splitlippress.com/store

And that's a wrap! 276 applications for the two open positions on the 2025 SLP NF/H reading team...y'all really did not decide to make it easy for @athenadixon.bsky.social! We're psyched to see so much interest--and preemptively sorry that we can only take, like, 1% of you onto the team this year!

My former fiction writing professor! Proud <3

Wrapping up Blurb Week for @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social's GRAPHIC RAGE with love from @robhollywood.bsky.social, who will be joining Aubrey for conversation during her SLP Zoom launch on October 7th at 7pm CT--register for this free event at the link in our tree! www.splitlippress.com/graphic-rage

This book is a banger. I'm proud to have been one of the editors and I think you should buy it. @roxanegay.bsky.social thinks you should too, as does my mom, who saw an early draft when it was open on my computer during a visit. She was like "i don't like comics (besides Archie), but this is great."

We continue @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social's Blurb Week with praise for GRAPHIC RAGE from @mirkdrop.bsky.social, who also presciently noted that "Hirsch's comics make her readers feel less alone as we see the bigger picture we're all (unfortunately) part of." Agreed and signed! ❤️

Second day of Blurb Week for GRAPHIC RAGE by @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social, who'll be in conversation with the provider of these kind words, @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social TONIGHT: 7:30pm at @stjoesny.bsky.social! (details on Maggie's page—she + Saeed Jones are touring for their book THE PEOPLE'S PROJECT)

Send your beloved out of print subs to @abigailoswald.bsky.social! We want to print your book! ✨

✏️😡

Welcome to Blurb Week for @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social's GRAPHIC RAGE, out on October 7 (but preorders are shipping now!). First up, we've got this stunner from @roxanegay.bsky.social ❤️ Order your copy of GRAPHIC RAGE at www.splitlippress.com/graphic-rage or your favorite bookstore!

Our nonfiction/hybrid editor @athenadixon.bsky.social is looking for a few new readers to join the NF/H team! Readers are COMPENSATED!!! Our readers typically stick with us for multiple seasons--we hope it'll be you! Link to apply in our tree and also at splitlippress.submittable.com

#writingcommunity #callforsubmissions

Had the pleasure of speaking with Sienna Liu about the musing Specimen, out now at @splitlippress.com. Head over to @xraylitmag.bsky.social! xraylitmag.com/near-miss-in...

🚨🚨🚨🚨

What a great interview with Sienna Liu & @rgransden.bsky.social: "So much of Specimen is about the near-miss: people circling each other, reaching, misunderstanding, saying almost but not quite what they mean. I wanted to write into that space of near-miss, not to resolve it, but to give it form."

Heads up that on Monday, we'll be opening up READER APPLICATIONS to join @athenadixon.bsky.social's nonfiction/hybrid reading team this October--if that should be you, keep your eyes peeled!

@aubreyhirsch.bsky.social’s book has arrived, and I can’t put it down. (It’s not stuck to my hand or anything; it’s just real and really good.) A series of brilliant comics laying out the challenges women face just existing in an unjust country. Hard truths, and an artistic triumph.

can't wait to share what I find!

Hello! They're looking for previously published fiction, nonfiction, or hybrid books that fit the mission and are currently out of print.

And it's go time! Submissions to our Lost/Found imprint are now open. Is your out-of-print prose book in need of a new home? If so, we'd love to consider your book for republication. Our Lost/Found Editor @abigailoswald.bsky.social is waiting at splitlippress.submittable.com (also linked in bio)!

(just dropping a lil pre-order link, don't mind me....) www.splitlippress.com/graphic-rage

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! It's happening!!!

GRAPHIC RAGE is here!!! So psyched to read @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social @splitlipthemag.bsky.social

We'll be doing one last BOOST on Monday (if @suburbanprairie.bsky.social gets her ass back on a phone during the holiday weekend), but in case we forget: NOVEL/NOVELLA SUBMISSIONS CLOSE AT 11:59PM CT on Monday September 1! Yes that is "Labor Day." So LABOR THIS WEEKEND and SEND US YOUR BOOK!

Whew! And that's a g-d WRAP! Over 300 copies of GRAPHIC RAGE have been hand-stamped, bookmarked, enveloped, labeled, and SHIPPED! Who says your small press doesn't love you? (my back says my small press should be buying me a massage) THANK YOU for all your preorders!!! You keep us alive + well ❤️

Y'ALL I still can't believe the way everything fell into place for this: I'm going to help @splitlippress.com give out-of-print books a new home!

We announced last week that we'll be opening up submissions to our Lost/Found imprint, but we're even MORE excited to announce that our L/F editor will be @abigailoswald.bsky.social!

Please help us welcome SLP's new Creative Director, Maggie Boyd Hare!!! Maggie's been hard at work on the back end getting our upcoming graphics in order, and we're really looking forward to seeing what else Maggie's got cookin' up for SLP in the future!

One of the nicest publishing things that has ever happened to me was when Unbridled Books published a new edition of my first novel, Hunger, which Little Brown had let go out of print. I love to see a press doing this, so send Split/Lip Press something if you're a good match for this.

YAY!

This is so great—such a balm in a time when so much is eroding

This is such a cool idea.

our new submissions call for rehoming out-of-print books is opening in two weeks!

An exciting prospect, from a press with a record that inspires confidence they'll do it well.

This is great! I wish more literary journals were doing this for defunct websites.

Amazing. 👏👏👏

Might be worth a look for a few ex-Unbound authors 👇
