I want to put out other people's novels, but what do authors realistically expect from tiny presses in the year of our lord 2025? What do authors like to see from small budget presses that makes it worthwhile? Why choose that over diy/self-pub?

I don't post on Bluesky very often (trying to change that), so this deadline has passed-- but please follow in case you want to submit for the next one!

I think year-end “worst” lists are pretty unnecessary. Instead of beating down books you didn’t like that people spent years writing, just ignore those titles and spend more time hyping up the books you actually did like. The lists just feel mean.

This book reminds me of zines like Cometbus — but instead of punks, it’s about the dude with the Monster Energy logo stick-and-poked on his neck who sells pills in the restroom of the worst bar in town.

It’s good.
