So, the administration that wishes we’d just give up trying ALSO hates essays? How very on brand. Head to the comments to co-sign our EIC @kristenmiller.bsky.social’s ✨holiday message✨ to the NEA. We’re not going anywhere. #literarycommunity #essay

Them: You have a major problem, which we can see, but we can’t imagine why or how. Them: How are you a BOOK EDITOR Them: In lieu of answers, how about 8 weeks of therapy not covered by insurance

#booksky @saraband-books.bsky.social @kristenmiller.bsky.social Uncompromising. Support Indy publishing by buying and reading their books.

Our EIC, @kristenmiller.bsky.social, in today’s Kentucky Lantern 🔥🔥🔥

When the NEA asked us to promise not to publish trans, nonbinary, or gender fluid authors, we told them to kick rocks. (Actually, formally, with a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors, we told them to kick rocks.) So the NEA rescinded our funding.

Lastly I am super excited to be partnering with @kristenmiller.bsky.social to bring the Zine Machine to PAX! Come pull one of 11 one page zines from this incredible little vending machine

Sarabande is such a great indie press & means a lot to me, both for their many poetry titles & also bc EIC @kristenmiller.bsky.social is a college acquaintance. Her leadership is admirable esp as losing NEA funds will hurt. Join me to help them cover the funding gap & continue their vital work.
