I will never shut up about how brilliant RABBIT & JULIET is. It’s vengeful, but it’s also earnest and emotional— a snapshot of twisty, toxic girl relationships and those awful realities you’re taught (often against your will) on the precipice of adulthood.
School Library Journal has named Rabbit and Juliet as one of it's best books of 2025!!! www.slj.com/story/newsfe...
Best Young Adult Books 2024 | SLJ Best Books
From moving tales in verse to romantic romps to stories of monsters both real and fantastical, these 25 YA novels represent the best of teens living, loving, surviving, and thriving in worlds and time...

this is just a vanity press (as in YOU, the author, pay them money to publish your book) who is stripping down their pub process by using AI to do editing, designing, formatting, etc of manuscripts.
A new publisher has claimed it aims to “disrupt” the books industry by publishing 8,000 books in 2025 alone using artificial intelligence

oh this is really, really helpful to know 👀
When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book

4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!

the Vanity Fair romanticized article about Cormac’s child bride settles any impulse i ever had to limp through one of his novels. also if anyone wanted another example of Guy in Your MFA Class who can’t write normally about women and girls— here’s another one for the wall!

MY HEART— i love this book with my whole heart! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I wrote a book about queer teen girls beating up sexual predators for revenge and funsies, if you are looking for something inspirational to read. https://buff.ly/4e57hYc #feminism #yanovels
