5 copies of Sarah Rees Brennan’s In Other Lands, which in May we reprinted once again — accompanied by a signed themed bookplate — are up for grabs at Bookfinity: Precocious, snarky teen Elliott is invited to a secret magical school but even there li...
It is too hot to mail chocolate bars this week so while all the rest (I think!) of the LCRW 52s have been mailed, the +chocolate copies will go out next week. The post Chocolate, emphasis on late first appeared on Small Beer Press.
LCRW 52 is off to the printer so at some point soon it will come back, magically multiplied, and we will need to start sending it out. I think that will be while some Book Moon people are traveling so it may take a while. What, these days, does not?...
Who doesn't have at least 52 issues? The post Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet No. 52 first appeared on Small Beer Press.
The third paperback printing of Sarah Rees Brennan’s novel In Other Lands is on the way from the printer, Versa Press, in East Peoria, IL, to the Consortium warehouse in Jackson, TN. Not coincidentally, Sarah’s new excellently titled novel, All Hail...

I was looking for something and came across this note on Travel Light that Jed sent me in September 2005 for the Small Beer newsletter: Travel Light is a book that goes places you never quite expect, even when you’re the one who’s writing it. No, I d...
Good Day,I've had this newletter open all week but been unable to write. There are so many interesting things going — where "interesting" means "fascinating" not " — in the bookish world but the Stupid World keeps interrupting. Imagine voting for som...
Dear Readers,As you probably know (since I'm coming up on my 3-year Long Covidversary — party time!), I have long Covid; noted here as everything about distributing this book will be done slowly.We've opened orders for our four-volume limited edition...
Edited to add: something went kaput yesterday and this email didn't go out to most people so here I try again. I voted by mail and today we went to our polling place to hit up the election day bake sale and support the school PTO. I hope you will vot...
