it hurt me so good but i cannot stress enough how thrilling and bonkers it is. extreme not as in snuff or pornographic tragedy but extreme as in taking its ideas and ambitions and pushing them further than you thought possible. it’s exhilarating to read

I will talk about it more closer to the book’s release, but I did have the feeling that I was reading an instant classic— and also that that first 70 pages was some of the toughest, most uncomfortable writing that I have read in a long time; and then every page after that was a revelation

but really the credit is all Aoife’s for the result, which is astonishing. it is some of the most profound writing about trans despair and epistemic pessimism i’ve ever read, and somehow it redeems our deepest, most carefully-guarded anxieties into something beautiful.

I should also say that Persona is the first novel I've read since maybe Nevada that made me go, "I didn't know how much I (we) needed this."

emily’s edit transformed this book into something way beyond what i could have imagined when we started. i am so deeply grateful to her, @catfitzpatrick.net and @caseyplett.com for all their support and collaboration throughout the process 🖤🖤🖤

thrilled to be able to talk about this directly now: the first book I edited for LittlePuss is available for pre-order.

we’ve got a little marketing gimmick as usual but i’m gonna be sincere for a second
caseyplett.com
Oh no oh no oh NO

this book is coming it is finally out for pre-order and let me be very clear: It is going to swallow you whole and destroy your life, soul, and the entire universe, and I could still not be prouder of publishing it. I have never worked on anything like this ever, like EVER.

Meanwhile, Elsewhere TWICE by now kill me) but if you're just running off more copies because you're out and need to do another print run, you just change those numbers to reflect whether it's the 2nd/3rd/etc printing and run more off. Real heavy collectors only fuck with 1st printings usually

When you change anything substantive about a book beyond correcting typos/promo stuff on cover, i.e. adding a forward/afterword, changing cover art, etc, then it becomes a subsequent *edition* and it needs a new ISBN and basically gets treated like a whole separate book (we've done this for
