Our pals at Pownal Street Press just launched their first campaign @kickstarter.com, and I love that there's a reward option to have a copy of the book donated to a library. Check out Corn & Tortillas: Love Shared! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cor...

Look, I get that most people do not read every single page of a book like I always have. I read the acknowledgements, I read the stuff the publisher puts at the end about other books I might like. And yes, I read copyright page. Sometimes there's very interesting stuff on there! More 👇

In other words, if you've been waiting on me for six weeks or more, please email me again!
Every so often, usually loooong after the stress has fully settled in my gut, I remember that nobody who sent me an email 6 weeks ago is still waiting on a reply without nagging me and I select-all emails from before 6 weeks ago, mark them as read, and go from having 99+ unread emails to having 15.

There is one major exception to my plea to buy our books from your local shop, and that exception is pre-sales and Kickstarters. Pre-sales and crowdfunding help finance production of our books, and support of those efforts enables me to get this tiny press off the ground 👇

See, this is why I love how @kpwerker.bsky.social does business: it's not just about making the most money, it's about supporting people in doing the work they love, and supporting other small businesses so they can stay afloat.
We benefit from the widest margins when you buy our books directly from us, but we still encourage you to buy from your local shop! In Part 1, I explained the time factor (time I spend shipping books is time I can't spend *making* books); here in Part 2 is the money factor. Got questions? Ask away!

One of the major shifts at Nine Ten in 2026 is a move away from selling books directly to readers (EXCEPT for special bundles, signed copies, and pre-orders! I'll do a video about those exceptions soon!). Here's why 👇 Got questions about this? Ask away!

Sometimes a publisher acquires rights to a book published in another country, so they can publish the book specifically for the country they're in. That's what we did with THE MAGIC OF POCKETS (Canadian Edition), by Jess Driscoll. This Canadian version is available only here in Canada BUT –

Now that @ninetenpub.bsky.social books are available through bookstores, craft shops and libraries in a lot of places, I'm no longer prioritizing shipping. Please please please buy/borrow our books where you live. Keep your dollars in your community. We all benefit that way!

This is a very niche post, but it is wild to load ShipStation and be alerted that Sendle, which very obviously did not handle tariffs/de minimis/Canada Post strike well, has already ceased operations. They did pickups, which was HUGE. Anyway. Not surprised, but def disappointed.
