I've been calling romantasy and other booktok stuff "fast literature" for years so this makes total sense to me.

I think we're about to get an absolute glut of stuff like this

you can't convince me these aren't all one guy

hey, remember when I posted this two months ago and everyone said I was misunderstanding the article and costs were up AND sales were down?

(this is HCP but the Amazon and audiobook sales will carry across publishers, I think)

Nancy Lemann fans! We have a cover for our THE RITZ OF THE BAYOU reissue! @hubcitypress.bsky.social is so pleased to be working with our pals at @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social (who are publishing Nancy's new novel, as well as a reprint) for a big combined release day on April 7!

Email me to get an ARC!

My mom has submitted these guys, which may be a canada thing? I LOVED them.
October 29, 2025 at 5:00 PM
definitely some strong memories around these guys

being a child of 90s health food stores, I'm transported back there immediately by looking at these labels

I really love this melon-green book and all the authors within! Introduction on the history of @hubcitypress.bsky.social and where we sit at this particular moment, by yours truly. Stories by @katearden.bsky.social @rainbowfish523.bsky.social and other HCWP staff. A deeply meaningful project for me!

stuff like this is driving me away from this platform, ngl

Libraries, be careful. This will probably go about as well as BN College.

This is why I won't engage with any "red states deserve what they get" blue maga discourse. Look at those two maps. The modern south is gerrymandered and occupied against its citizenry's will and things will only get worse if the supreme court decides what we think they will.

Woah people were not lying about the new Ian McEwan interior layout. Type is too big and feels crammed into too-small margins, text feels stretched and over-kerned, the ellipses look like the word doc ones...

You heard it first here: the It's Never My Fault Club is about to pivot to "immigrants gave us the measles."

Update on the MEASLES OUTBREAK in my county: "Spartanburg County has the highest rate of religious exemptions from vaccine requirements in the state at around 6 percent, representing about 3,200 kids. The last measles outbreak in the state was 2018."

A depressing update we've seen coming for a long time, with numerous impacts. Namely, even less competition for library acquisitions and wholesale, publishers (including Hub City) left with unpaid bills, and small presses left high and dry, and vanishing distribution options.

100%. Saw this yesterday on threads.
