Not too long ago a small independent publisher of ancient classics in translation (@Contubernales.bsky.social) solicited a manuscript from me : the outcome was GREEN RADIUS. Now they have published a 2nd book : PARMENIDES IN MINNEAPOLIS. I'm looking for people to review them in print.

I was walking to work today and a soothsayer came up to me and said “BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH” which was weird but what I really didn’t expect was that they followed it up with “FOLLOW @contubernales.bsky.social TO FIND OUT MORE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU TEACH ADVANCED LEVEL LATIN CLASSES”

They also have a fine selection of classical texts, contemporary literature, and poetry.

Whether you want an Early Latin Reader illustrated with Lego figures, or a gorgeous copy of Dante's Latin Essays, supporting indie publishers is a very cool thing to do.
