Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. A cartoon image of a white woman in a fitted top points to the Trans Rights Readathon logo, posed as if she is about to whisper a secret. Text reads: PSST! Are you an indie author hoping to share your book with readers during the Trans Rights Readathon?

Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. At the bottom of the image, are two graphics from artist PocketMilo. In one, a brown-skinned person with purple hair and a pink outfit, smiles while holding a potted houseplant. Opposite, a brown-skinned person with green hair and vitiligo gives a haircut to a light-skinned person with red hair and prominent top surgery scars. Text reads: Is Your Book a Good Fit? The Trans Rights Readathon encourages readers to seek out works by and/or about trans, nonbinary, 2Spirit, and gender non-conforming authors or main characters.

Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. A graphic by artist PocketMilo appears at the bottom of the slide, and depicts two people embracing. Their faces are partially obscured. They are surrounded by lush vines. A trans pride flag is visible on the back of the nearer figure’s coat. Text reads: If So, You Should Know… We heard you last year when you said that you wanted more resources for the event. Which is why...

Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. At the bottom of the page, a graphic by artist PocketMilo shows two light-skinned people lying side-by-side in bed with their legs intertwined. One has visible top surgery scars, is wearing plaid shorts, and has fallen asleep while holding a book. The other wears baggy pants, socks, and a crop top, and is reading a book. Text reads: We’re Planning Something Big! If you’re interested in learning more, send an email with the subject line “Indie Author” to transreadathon@gmail.com, and we’ll forward the details to help you plan ahead.

The Trans Rights Readathon is right around the corner. We've got some exciting new plans this year, and we're compiling some resources for indie authors. Many of them are still in the works and will be announced publicly throughout March. 🤍💗💙 #TRR26 #transrightsreadathon #indieauthors

i don’t want to hear about that booktok man’s publishing deal.

i DO want you to take 3 seconds to follow me for free on Bindery (and support all Bindery creators) so we can make the publishing world more ethical & uplift voices that are constantly ignored.

Kyle and Steph in front of a bookshelf

and the BIGGEST shoutout to Savannah at Saga Press (lots of you already know and adore her) who had a hand in his clever trickery!!

Kyle proposed in her adorably cozy office, and I left with so many books that we needed to use multiple bags to cart them out of there.

if you could force more specific kinds of fantasy books to appear in the world … what would you want to read about?

(please be as specific as you want. i dig it)

#fantasybooks #magicalbooks #horrorbooks #bookishopinions #booksky

The Seep by Chana Porter, An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon, and The Stars Undying by Emery Robin! OH and very different vibe, but since I didn’t mention nonfic initially, I’ll throw in Heavyweight by Solomon Brager for an interesting graphic memoir.
