Oh your editor helped fix your prose and structure? My editor helped me get right before the law and God.

The real tell of a good editor is when they consult a lawyer on behalf of the publication after reading your work.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Acts of simple sabotage, multiplied by thousands of citizen- saboteurs, can be an effective weapon against the enemy.

This bookstore is fucking awesome! Donate if you've got the money! (Also, postcard for only $5!)

Boneshaker Books @boneshakerbooks.bsky.social · 7d

The rumors are true: Boneshaker is headed to a new location! We need your help to dig up our bones and move on over to 26th and Lyndale. We're hoping to raise $15,000 total, $6k of that by 10/17. Learn more at bit.ly/boneshakermove and thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive!

Why move? While we love a lot about our current location, we’ve struggled with dwindling foot traffic, low sales, and expensive maintenance issues.

We believe our new space will offer resources that will allow us to exist more sustainably as a community organization for the long haul.

How can I help? Our goal is to raise $15,000 total to fund the move, make some improvements to the new space, and build out our inventory.

Ultimately, we need at least $6,000 by October 17th so we can reopen in our new space at 708 W 26th St. by around November 1st.

Donate and find out more about the move (and the cool perks you can get for donating!) via the QR code or URL below.
Thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive!

Helping with this volunteer-run bookstore has made me lifelong friendships, connected me with multiple intersecting communities within and without the Twin Cities, and scored reporting tips.

We're always on the lookout for new volunteers. Email us at volunteering at boneshakerbooks dot com!

Imagine the illustrious corner of 26th and Lyndale: you grab a bite at Dream State, the new Reverie restaurant, pop in to Boneshaker for a fresh read, maybe even sit on our PATIO to read a few pages, go across the street to Nightingale for a drink, then come back over to Boneshaker for another book!
