Below this, center, is a book cover depicting two men, one blonde and fair, the other black-haired with medium tone skin, in a loose, tender embrace, one kissing the other's forehead, before a wave-like background with a blood-red sun and dark sky behind them. This is labeled "The Salt in the Sea E-book and trade paperback." Beside it, there's a picture of a small candle in a tin labeled "seaside candle," the same artwork but with a large area of more waves beside the pair labeled "art print of the front cover," and the artwork again but made narrow and focused on the men, labeled "Thoma & Victor bookmark." In the lower part of the graphic is a header that reads "Pre-Order Bundles," with two listed: trade paperback + e-book bundle, accompanied by the cover art twice more (once with a book download symbol), and book _ merchandise bundle, which shows all the items already described grouped together in one big bundle.

Teen Vogue has had sharper political coverage and commentary than most of the mainstream media for years now.

Love this for them.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

I've noticed this about our books as well on most platforms. And even when they AREN'T marked up, when you buy from outside retailers we get a pittance of the sales price, whereas we get a lot from direct sales, which means I can pay the authors way more in royalties.
frombeyondpress.bsky.social From Beyond Press @frombeyondpress.bsky.social · Jan 26
Every once in a while I check the prices of our books on the zon. They're always more expensive than they are through our site, and sometimes they're more expensive than the suggested retail price. This is all to say that you should buy books direct from the publisher whenever possible.

Submissions for our queer sword and sorcery anthology are open until January 15th. 8¢/word. <6000 words.

Very keen on tyrant-killing, intimate stakes, unknowable magic, tiny loincloths, sweaty muscles, big thighs.

Good to avoid: epic fantasy tropes.

More info: www.neonhemlock.com/submissions
big text: SUBMISSIONS OPEN UNTIL JANUARY 15. on a blue/red background with the neon hemlock logo and mock up paper/ebook of SHATTER THE SUN.
