and ensuring Stanchion is sustainable.

That said, I recognize the price of the 2026 Stanchion Book Club may put it out of reach for some, but it'll deliver a whopping 12 books (incl Stanchion's 1st two novels), 4 exclusive gifts, advance PDFs & more. 2/2

I'm obsessively trying to keep the price of Stanchion Books and the magazine low to make the chapbooks, novellas, short story collections, and now novels, attainable to as many readers as possible, while still paying authors generous lump sum amounts... 1/2

agreed. we're looking at the Olympic swim roster and it's the usual suspects and one guy with a pair of water wings whose bio reads 'Joe'. it's only from a distance that we're in the same industry. and, for the record, i'm fine here apart.

The problem with the NYT 100
Notable Books isn’t the books. They’re mostly fine. Some are even great. It’s the same exceedingly narrow slice of publishing that it takes into account.

The small presses that pop up feel largely like credibility bolsters, but also almost jarringly out of place.

kith is genuinely one of the most lovely publishers I've ever worked with - full support from the press as well as yr fellow authors on the roster (made several friends that way :))

also, if you've got some unabashedly trans/queer words you wanna share with the world, kith is a perfect home ^u^

this is a bit of a cheat because reading trans poetry is my actual job but I read, and publish, a lot of trans poetry and have done for years. cost can be prohibitive but a lot of small presses (including ours!) hand eBooks out like candy to any who ask. push comes to shove, we want to be read.
