I've spent the last month and a half working my absolute butt off building a brand new website for @shirakipress.com. It rolled out yesterday. It's pretty! And you can preorder our books directly from us now! shirakipress.com #booksky #hopepunk #smallpress

We are really excited to be celebrating 1 year of Shiraki Press existing this weekend. Our first RadCon.org in Pasco, WA is this weekend. If you're attending and want to know more about how to start and run an indie book publisher, 1 PM on Saturday (we'll have 2 ARCs to giveaway!)

Thanks to the always amazing @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social for what she had to say about Accelerated Growth Environment: "A sapphic eco-thriller perfect for fans of Becky Chambers & Martha Wells." —Rebecca Roanhorse, New York Times bestselling author of the award-winning series Between Earth & Sky

We are so excited that Alyssa Winans was able to illustrate this gorgeous cover for @millieabecassis.com 's next title, The Color of Time. Learn more about the book at www.shirakipress.com/books/the-co... And learn more about Alyssa at www.alyssawinans.com

Albuquerque!! March 12, 2026 at 5:30 PM!! @teffeau.bsky.social will be at @booksonthebosque.bsky.social to celebrate the launch of Accelerated Growth Environment! Come say hi and get your copy signed. RSVP now at www.eventbrite.com/e/1980231003...?

We are counting down to the release of Accelerated Growth Environment, my new novella with @shirakipress.com! It comes out March 3, 2026 So somehow just under a month to go! I'm honored by what Curtis C. Chen, bestselling author of True Blue Kangaroo, had to say about my book:

We are thrilled to reveal the cover for Emily O'Malley Liu's upcoming novella Wine for Roses! This cover was fully designed by Lisa Marie Pompilio at vonbrooklydesign.com and we are absolutely in love with it. To learn more about Wine for Roses go to www.shirakipress.com/books/wine-f...

"Hope does not mean saying this is not bad, and it does not mean saying that we can defeat it. It just means saying we will keep showing up. That we will not give up. ...we do not know how it will unfold, and neither do those we oppose." From @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social's Meditations in an Emergency

Your dreaming and planning is called HOPE and it is a necessity during chaos. People like you are how and why we move forward and out

@millieabecassis.com 's The Color of Time is Shiraki Press' third title this year, arriving on May 19, 2026! Recently we asked her a few questions about her reading habits and faves. Read the questions & answers and learn more about Millie at www.shirakipress.com/authors/mill...

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

In ONE month we will be celebrating the launch of Accelerated Growth Environment by @teffeau.bsky.social at @nookandcrannybooks.bsky.social in Seattle's University District. February 22, 2026 7-9 PM RSVP now to meet the author and publishers! www.eventbrite.com/e/1980223449...?

Introducing: Emily O'Malley Liu! Her story was Uncharted Magazine's Fall 2022 Novel Excerpt Contest winner, Roses, and we are delighted to bring you the rest of Ethan's story, now titled Wine for Roses, on April 14, 2026. Learn more about Emily at www.shirakipress.com/authors/emil...

When we acquired Accelerated Growth Environment by @lteffeau we knew we needed an extraordinary artist to bring the cover to life. Stephan Martiniere blew us away with his vision of the Climasphere. Learn more at www.shirakipress.com/books/accele... and see Stephan's work at www.martiniere.com

@teffeau.bsky.social 's Accelerated Growth Environment cover reveal is coming soon, but first, we asked Lauren a few questions so you can get to know her a little bit better. To read the questions and her answers check out Lauren's author page at www.shirakipress.com/lauren-c-tef...

We're excited to ring in the new year by announcing the sale of LIGHT & EARTH & MARROW by @jeanniemarschall.bsky.social, a cosy folklore fantasy about working with—not against—the natural and paranormal world. Coming fall 2026!

We're excited to participate in #SmallPitch for the second time in January! Sign up and share your work with us!!

We've been running a bit quiet lately because we've been heads-down producing our first slate of books, which are coming along great. We're excited to start sharing more soon! In the meantime, here's our latest: www.shirakipress.com/fine-tuning-...

Your enemies are counting on you to lose hope. Despair is one of their greatest weapons, for it leads you to stop fighting for yourself. Hold on to hope, no matter how hard it is, and refuse to join your enemy in bringing you down.

Announcing our fourth acquisition for 2026! www.shirakipress.com/new-acquisit...

My computer keeps insisting on reminding me that it's International Wombat Day but an internet search says it was actually on the 22nd. All of this to say - I read @tkingfisher.com's What Stalks the Deep (a delightful read) either a day early or 5 days late and AI generated "facts" are a bad idea.

Congrats to the folks behind this really cool #hopepunk project!

Hey #hopepunk fans, y'all might want to give this a look! 👀

Shiraki Press has acquired Emily O'Malley Liu's novella, The Man in the Garden House, with representation by @gabrielle-h.bsky.social from Corvisiero Literary Agency, to be published in spring 2026. www.shirakipress.com/new-acquisit... #booksky #hopepunk #smallpress #fantasy #novella

Our first day at @seattle2025worldcon went great. We met so many awesome people! Today the highlight is @teffeau.bsky.social reading from A Hunger with No Name along with a sneak preview of her story that is forthcoming from Shiraki Press at 4:30 in room 428. Come say hi and give it a listen!

We’re super excited to be attending our first @seattlein2025.org this week! If you want to meet up we’re around most mornings, and we’d love to meet new folks.
