We should all have a plan.
Support Trans Stories
There is an urgency in preserving transgender stories amidst increasing governmental attacks on our rights. Our lack of a coordinated plan for resistance can be restored by sharing personal narratives. GenderWild Press aims to create a platform for trans and queer voices, emphasizing the necessity of funding to continue this vital work.

Serious question to all my #publishing friends, #authors, and #bookshops out there... Are there any established book distributors for queer/trans indie presses? Not amazon or ingramspark or any of those routes. An actual company choosing to work with queer presses.

I'm so excited to host this inspiring interview with my good friend, Troy Ford. Buy his book! Support queer authors! Give the big 5 the middle finger!
An interview with Troy Ford
Troy Ford, an author and LGBTQIA2S+ organizer, discusses his newly released novel "Lamb: A Novel in Snapshots," a queer coming-of-age story which explores themes of identity and belonging. Ford reflects on the supportive community found through serializing his work on Substack, the significance of vulnerability in writing, and the evolving landscape of LGBTQIA2S+ literature amidst ongoing censorship challenges. We also chat about the success his book has achieved and his plans for future works.

Small Robin Press is still just a tiny fledgling in the world of books, but we don't mind being small. Our submissions will be opening soon (October 1, to be specific) for our next anthology. Is it too early to get excited about that?

I don’t care if BlueSky is growing or dying, it’s nice here and I’ll never go back to Twitter - or bother with something like Threads - and honestly I’m pretty disappointed in all the folks I know who still use Twitter because they care more about reach than integrity.

tbh one of the really crappy things about being a tguy is that there are like, almost no historical figures we can point to and say they were like us, bc ppl will say "oh she was just pretending to be a man to achieve X"

Troy’s writing explores the joy and pain of queerness through the lens of gay men who struggle in a world that views their lives as other and less than.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!!

"Son, write something about burning, the italics watered down
to liquid coal. Son, worship this kerosene.
Ask me anything. Anything at all."

How to Migrate Ghosts
Jaiden Geolingo

now available in Print & eBook
link in reply
How to Migrate Ghosts Jaiden Geolingo cover: a white crayon like drawing of a ghost obscures a child, with white T-shirt sleeves just poking out the sides, standing in front of a curtained window in front of bins of toys. text: "These poems bruise and sing in the same breath" Rishi Janakiraman "These poems are thick, humid with memory - each vignette is swaddled in adobo steam." Wenshu Wang Ars Poetica Son, say the only thing we learned is worship. Putting our palms together & praying for a carcass to turn up so you could write an elegy, or chucking Molotov cocktails at inkwells & talking about fire. Did you know the cool kids want to be diagnosed with a prayer nowadays, preaching to a god made of thermal energy. Oh, let me tell you, son: the best pieces are birthed out of scabs or gunmetal & sometimes rainwater. No gold. Sometimes the moon. In your hands: a new allegory for smoke. Let’s go pray again, son. Fill my quills with blood instead of ink— the softest kind. Congeal & clot all droplets. O, son, we’ve written too much about tsunamis so I want you to say forgive the things synonymous to cobwebs: you, your poems doused in ethanol. I’m holding the matchstick & you need to tell me to light them up. Son, write something about burning, the italics watered down to liquid coal. Son, worship this kerosene. Ask me anything. Anything at all. Say it. Say it good.
